During these uncertain times of social distancing, many parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who had been receiving Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy have asked, “How will we maintain the therapeutic gains that have been made? How do we adhere to the treatment plan and continue to make progress?”
These concerns are certainly justified, as discontinuation or delay in ABA therapy can cause distress in children with ASD. It can also create some real setbacks, including the potential for behavior regression.
