  • Our approach

    ABA Kids uses Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) delivered in your child's natural environments—home, childcare, school or community settings—to help skills generalise across different people and places. Sessions are individualised, child-centred, and designed to be fun while being trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. Skill development is carefully monitored through data tracking, and all programs uphold children's basic human rights. You can choose from a consultation model where you lead your child's therapy, or a more intensive model with up to 25 hours per week of one-to-one early intervention delivered by qualified behaviour therapists.

  • Working with families

    Caregivers are actively encouraged to take part in the training process, with options ranging from a consultation model where parents take a leading role in providing therapy, to more intensive models where therapists deliver sessions. The provider offers parent training, communication about progress through close data inspection and skill monitoring, and collaboration on school consultation and IEP development.

How do I connect with ABA Kids?

You can call +61 402 727 836, email them and visit their website.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Session length varies between clinics and services, so check it with the provider when you book. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
