ABA therapy for children with autism in Chișinău
Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) helps your child learn, step by step, to communicate, play, be more independent and build learning skills — at their own pace, with you by their side.
What is ABA therapy?
ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) is a structured approach that starts from how your child learns and what motivates them. Complex skills are broken down into small steps, and each success is positively reinforced, so that your child repeats the skill and uses it in everyday life.
It is one of the methods with the strongest scientific evidence for supporting children on the autism spectrum, and it works best when it starts early.
What we work on in ABA sessions
Goals are set individually, but most often we work on:
- communication — making requests, responding, eye contact, using words or alternative communication;
- imitation, joint attention and playing alongside other children;
- independence: getting dressed, eating, hygiene, daily routines;
- the learning skills your child needs at kindergarten and at school;
- understanding and reducing behaviours that get in the way of your child’s learning;
- generalisation — using skills at home, at kindergarten and in the community.
How we work at Copiii Ploii (Children of the Rain)
It all starts with a conversation with you and a careful assessment of your child. Based on this, our specialists set concrete goals and an individual therapy plan, which we review as your child progresses.
Sessions take place at the Copiii Ploii educational centre in Chișinău. You receive explanations and practical advice, so that what your child learns at the centre carries on at home.
Who is ABA therapy for?
For children aged 3 to 16 with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays or rare genetic diseases that affect communication and behaviour — from Chișinău and from all over the Republic of Moldova. You don’t need to wait for a final diagnosis to get in touch: the earlier support begins, the better.

Frequently asked questions
At what age can ABA therapy start?
At our centre we work with children aged 3 to 16. Early intervention usually gives the best results, so we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Do we need a diagnosis to get started?
A diagnosis helps us better understand your child’s needs, but you don’t need one for our first conversation. We’ll listen, explain the steps and guide you — including to the specialists who make the diagnosis.
How can I be involved as a parent?
Parents are part of the team: you’ll know your child’s goals and progress and receive recommendations for practising at home. That way, the skills learned in therapy become part of everyday life.
