When Jeremy was just a baby, his parents noticed some delays in his development. When he received a diagnosis of autism, they felt like they finally had an answer... and a thousand more questions.

But Jeremy and his family found Easterseals and began services right away. During their very first session together, Jeremy used less than five words to express his needs and communicate with his parents and new team, who was there to support him. But over the course of the week, Jeremy's parents learned many new Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies to help encourage Jeremy's language development.

Fast forward to his final session. Jeremy used 53 full phrases to express his needs and wants. Every single goal that Jeremy's parents and team set for him, Jeremy learned and met with ease. But it's not just about Jeremy's progress. His whole family has developed new skills to better connect with each other. They were even finally able to sit down and play a game together for the first time.

Through their services, Jeremy's parents were able to see the life-changing effects of ABA. Now, with these skills and techniques to implement, Jeremy is truly thriving at home. We can't wait to see what else he and his family have in store for their future!
