We understand.
You’ve received an autism diagnosis for your child, and you’re eager to get them started with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
But then comes the gut punch: there’s a waitlist.
This can be incredibly frustrating – especially when you know your child could be benefiting from these therapies right away.
Here at Msitua, we believe every child deserves access to quality ABA services, and that’s why we don’t have a waitlist!
We understand the urgency of getting your child the support they need, and we’re committed to working with you to get them started as soon as possible.
But anyway. Let’s dive into the blog.
What to do while waiting for ABA?
While waiting for ABA therapy on a waitlist can be stressful, there are still steps you can take to support your child’s development.
Here are a few ideas:
- Research early intervention programs: Many communities offer early intervention programs for children with developmental delays. These programs can provide valuable support and resources while you’re on the ABA waitlist.
- Learn about ABA: Familiarize yourself with the principles of ABA therapy. This will help you understand how it can benefit your child and how you can be involved in their treatment.
- Connect with other parents: There are many online and in-person support groups for parents of children with autism. Connecting with other families can provide you with emotional support and helpful resources.
What is the average time for ABA?
Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.
The average wait time for ABA therapy can vary depending on your location, the specific needs of your child, and the availability of providers.
Studies show wait times can range anywhere from a few months to over a year.
Is it too late for ABA?
Absolutely not.
Just like adults can learn new things (like that killer dance move you mastered at karaoke night!), people with autism can benefit from ABA therapy no matter their age.
Think of your brain like a jungle gym.
Early intervention with ABA is like getting on that jungle gym when you’re small – you can explore all the different bars and slides easily. But that doesn’t mean you can’t climb that jungle gym if you’re older!
It might take some extra effort, but you can still reach new heights and have a blast.
Here’s the cool thing about ABA therapy: it’s all about customizing a plan to fit each person’s unique needs. Whether your child is a pre-school powerhouse or a teenager ready to conquer the world, ABA therapy can help them build on their strengths and tackle challenges head-on.
Imagine your child is amazing at building Lego castles, but struggles a bit with making friends at school. ABA therapy can help them use those awesome building skills to learn social interaction, like taking turns and cooperating with others.
And the best part?
These benefits aren’t just for kiddos. Adults with autism can use ABA therapy to manage stress, improve communication, or even gain more independence in daily life.
So, the next time you wonder if ABA therapy is an option, remember – it’s like that jungle gym, open for all ages! If you’re curious about how ABA therapy can help your child, give us a shout at Msitua.

Is ABA higher than RBT?
Ever heard of superheroes in the world of ABA therapy?
Well, meet the BCBA and the RBT! These amazing folks work together as a team to help people with autism reach their goals.
The BCBA, kind of like Captain America leading the Avengers, is a licensed professional with a master’s degree. They’re the mastermind behind the ABA plan, figuring out the best strategies and making sure everything runs smoothly.
RBTs, like Iron Man with all his cool gadgets, are the ones who put the plan into action! They work directly with clients, using those awesome ABA techniques to help them learn and grow.
Here’s the thing: while both BCBAs and RBTs are super important, you might be wondering which one you need.
