About The Early Intervention Center

At The Early Intervention Center, we provide specialized ABA programs for children with autism spectrum disorders. Our center-based programs are offered in full and half-day sessions.

The individualized programs are tailored to each child’s unique needs and strengths. Our mission is to empower children with autism and help them reach their full potential.

Online Therapy vs In-Person Therapy

Not sure whether to see a therapist in person or online? This comparison highlights why online therapy is often the more flexible and accessible option.

Thinking about online sessions instead? See online therapy options
Aspect In-Person Therapy Online Therapy (often more flexible)
Convenience & Time ✖️ Requires travel, scheduling time off, and a fixed location. ✔️ No travel; join from home, office, or car when it suits you.
Scheduling Flexibility ✖️ Mostly office hours; fewer last-minute or out-of-hours options. ✔️ Early morning, evening, and lunchtime sessions are easier to find.
Comfort & Privacy ✖️ Waiting rooms, chance of meeting someone you know, commuting when feeling low. ✔️ Talk from your safest private space at home or elsewhere; no waiting room.
Therapist Availability ✖️ Limited to providers within driving distance and local specialties. ✔️ Access a much wider pool of therapists, including niche expertise.
Cost & Extra Time ✖️ Parking, travel expenses, and extra commuting time around each session. ✔️ No travel or parking costs; time is spent on the session, not the journey.
Accessibility ✖️ Harder for rural areas, busy parents, chronic illness or mobility issues. ✔️ Accessible from anywhere with internet; ideal for busy or remote lifestyles.
Consistency ✖️ Travel, moving, or bad weather can interrupt or cancel sessions. ✔️ Continue therapy even while travelling or during bad weather days.
Best For ✖️ Situations where physical presence or hands-on support is essential. ✔️ Most stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions.
Limitations ✖️ Less flexible; easier to miss sessions due to travel or schedule conflicts. ✔️ Requires internet and a private space; not suitable for emergency situations.

Bottom line: For most people, online therapy offers the best mix of convenience, comfort, and therapist choice—while still providing high-quality support.

Is online therapy actually effective?
Research shows that for many issues—such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. What often matters most is finding a therapist you connect with and staying consistent over time.

When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.
Explore flexible online therapy options →
Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.

Have questions?

At The Early Intervention Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. It’s important to note that even if your child is very verbal and can say a lot of words, they might still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting conversations, changing topics, understanding body language, and more. Speech therapy is an essential part of early intervention for autistic children and is the best way to ensure your child learns language and communication skills at the earliest stage possible. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include difficulty speaking, being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To help you better understand the process, we have created a guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Visit The Early Intervention Center today and find out how our team of experts can help your child achieve their language and communication goals.
At The Early Intervention Center, we specialize in providing speech therapy to help children communicate effectively with others. Our therapists can teach your child nonverbal skills, help them form speech in a clearer way, and assist them in communicating their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, we can help them understand facial expressions and body language, as well as address stuttering or feeding and swallowing issues. Our goal is to provide personalized, specialized care that will help your child communicate in all environments.
The Early Intervention Center is proud to provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a type of therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Our ABA therapy focuses on helping children and adults develop communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic behaviors. We strive to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. To learn more about ABA therapy, please check out our comprehensive guide.
At The Early Intervention Center, we understand that it’s a tough decision to decide if Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the best fit for your child. Our goal is to provide high quality ABA therapy that helps children grow and develop while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. Our complete guide to ABA therapy is designed to help you make an informed decision about the best path for your child and family. We strive to help children thrive and reach their full potential, never seeking to “fix” them or make them appear “less autistic.” Our team of experts are here to provide you the support and resources you need to make the right decision.
Contact Phone number is (248) 565-8970.
