Myth #7: “ABA is only for young children.”

Let’s put this one to rest once and for all: ABA isn’t just for toddlers or preschoolers. It’s a framework for lifelong learning and support.

Whether you're a child learning to communicate, a teen navigating friendships, or an adult preparing for the workforce, ABA can help you build the skills needed to live more independently and meaningfully.

ABA grows with you

One of the strengths of ABA is its flexibility and adaptability. Goals evolve as the individual does—shifting from learning basic routines to mastering job readiness, emotional regulation, or building deeper social connections.

Skills for real life

For older learners, ABA focuses on practical, real-world skills:

• Independent living: Managing routines, money, hygiene, time

• Vocational training: Resume building, workplace behavior, digital literacy

• Social confidence: Navigating group conversations, boundaries, and self-advocacy

It’s never “too late”

Learning doesn’t stop with childhood. ABA empowers individuals of all ages to continue growing—at their own pace, with dignity and purpose.
