Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is the best bet for helping preschool children with autism.
This paper reviews scientific studies on whether or not early intensive behavioral interventions (EIBI) such as ABA therapy are helpful for children with autism. The authors believe that therapies such as ABA therapy are the only therapies proven to help children with autism. There are few long term studies, however, that look to see if gains from early ABA therapy last throughout life. The authors also note that while many studies show that ABA therapy works, it is hard to compare between studies since all of the studies are so different. They call for studies to answer the question: how young should a child be to start ABA therapy.
