What Does It Mean to Be “On the Spectrum”?
Being “on the spectrum” refers to
someone who has
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts, and perceives the world. The term "spectrum" reflects the wide range of abilities and challenges individuals with autism experience. People on the spectrum may have varying degrees of difficulty with social skills, communication, and behavior, and their strengths can be just as diverse.
Some individuals may need substantial support in daily activities, while others may live independently and excel in certain areas, such as math or art. The spectrum also includes people who may be nonverbal, have sensory sensitivities, or show repetitive behaviors, but it’s important to remember that each individual is unique.
At Little Rays ABA, we offer personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to help children on the spectrum develop essential skills for communication, socialization, and everyday tasks. Our goal is to help every child reach their full potential by working with their strengths and addressing their challenges.
