ABA therapy helps children with autism build communication, behavior, social interaction, and daily living skills in a structured and supportive way. For many families, this includes bilingual or dual-language households where both Spanish and English are used at home. In these cases, therapy may be delivered in Spanish, English, or both to support clear understanding and consistent skill development across languages.
Arluna can provide bilingual ABA therapy so children and caregivers can fully participate in the therapy process with clear communication and practical guidance that supports daily routines and learning.
When therapy is provided in the language used at home, it can help children understand and apply new skills more easily. It also allows parents to better understand and use therapy strategies in daily life. This approach supports communication development in the language(s) the child uses most.
ABA therapy helps children with autism build communication, social skills, emotional regulation, behavior support, independence, and early academic skills. Guided by an Arluna clinician, children practice skills during play and daily routines, such as asking for help, following directions, taking turns, managing emotions, and building skills needed for school and learning.
For bilingual and dual-language families, therapy may be provided in Spanish, English, or both. This helps children use skills in the language(s) they hear and use most at home, and helps parents understand and support strategies more clearly.
Families are an important part of the process. Therapists give guidance and simple strategies so parents can support progress outside of sessions.
Children with autism may benefit from extra support as they learn to communicate, follow routines, and manage daily challenges. ABA therapy is designed to meet children where they are and support skill-building in a way that fits their needs.
