Resources by your child's age
What your child needs most, and what you should prioritize, changes at every stage. Select an age range to find guides, tools, and resources specific to where your child is right now.
Ages 1–3
Toddlers
The highest-leverage window for early support. Early intervention is free, available in every state, and does not require a diagnosis to access.
- •Early intervention access
- •Getting an evaluation
- •What to do at home while waiting
Ages 3–5
Preschool age
The biggest service transition your child will face: early intervention ends, school begins, and ABA often starts. Active navigation pays off at this stage.

- •IEP rights and how to use them
- •Starting ABA therapy
Ages 6–12
School age
Skills learned in therapy need practice at home to generalize. Consistent short sessions, goal tracking, and a working IEP are what matter most at this stage.
