The victims’ cognitive abilities are greatly enhanced because the behavioral interventions undertaken are quite effective. The therapy affects the victims differently, and they respond differently to the treatment. The children are different in terms of reasoning and abilities, even though they are having a similar condition. For instance, nonverbal children cannot grow and learn to reach the same level of cognition as those that have higher functioning. The kids with autism will learn about various social skills which they can use to interact and connect with their peers.
All the changes in behavior of the victims will be tracked in the ABA and the results will be effectively responded to. This is yet another very beneficial aspect of ABA therapy.
