ABA is based on the principle that behaviour is learned and can be changed in meaningful ways. It involves looking closely at how a person behaves in different situations, what happens before the behaviour, what the behaviour looks like and what happens after. By understanding these patterns, we can teach new, more helpful behaviours while reducing those that may be challenging or unsafe.

ABA is:

✅ Evidence-based - Backed by decades of scientific research and studies. We are driven by data-based decisions.

✅ Individualised - Every programme is tailored to the specific needs, interests and goals of the individual.

✅ Positive and practical - We use positive reinforcement to encourage behaviours - when a child does something well, they are rewarded in a way that is meaningful to them, which makes it more likely they’ll do it again. 

✅Skills-focused - We teach a wide range of skills including communication, play, social interaction, emotional regulation, self-help (like brushing teeth or getting dressed), and academic readiness. 

✅Data-driven - We continually collect and analyse data to track progress and make sure interventions are working.
