Why Choose Pediatric Rehabilitation for Autism?
Early Signs & Benefits of Early Intervention
Recognizing early red flags gives your child the best chance at lifelong communication, social, and cognitive skills. Watch for:
- No babbling or pointing by 12 months
- Limited eye contact or name response
- Repetitive movements (hand-flapping, lining up toys)
- Sensory aversions to sound or texture
Studies from the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders show that children who begin therapy before age 3 gain an average of 17 IQ points and 25% more adaptive skills than those who start later.

Our Evidence-Based Autism Programs
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Toddlers & Preschoolers
Discrete trial training, natural-environment teaching, and positive reinforcement are woven into 20-, 30-, or 45-minute fun sessions. We track every target behavior on a live dashboard visible to parents.
Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) – Play-Based Learning
Best suited for ages 12–48 months, ESDM combines songs, bubbles, and sensory play to build joint attention and turn-taking. Therapists coach parents in real time so learning continues at home.
Social-Communication & Peer Interaction Groups
Small groups of 3–4 children practice greetings, sharing, and pretend play under clinician supervision. Role-play videos are shared securely with parents for carry-over practice.
Occupational & Sensory Integration Therapy
Swings, trampolines, and tactile bins help regulate sensory systems. We design "sensory diets" that teachers can implement in preschool.
Speech-Language Pathology Services
From articulation drills to AAC devices, our SLPs use visual schedules and social stories to turn frustration into functional communication.
