  • Our approach

    Sessions are based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), an evidence-based treatment approach for autism and related disorders. The provider starts each program by teaching three foundational "learning to learn" skills: communication, toleration and collaboration. Based on your child's and family's specific needs, sessions deliver a tailored program focused on developing life skills such as communication, self-care, social skills, and behaviour management. Therapists work with your child in home, day care or school settings to provide individualised support, with a focus on teaching and reinforcing skills through structured practice.
