  • Our approach

    Programs are based on evidence-based practices and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), focusing on teaching three foundational "learning to learn" skills: communication, toleration and collaboration. Therapists deliver tailored programs to grow skills in communication, behaviour management, daily routines, social skills and school skills depending on each child's and family's needs. Sessions help children with developmental delays, autism or behaviours of concern learn to request, provide feedback, express emotions and develop positive alternatives to challenging behaviours. The approach develops proactive strategies to reduce problem behaviours while building independence in self-care, social engagement with peers and family, and school readiness. Work with your child in daily care or school environments provides individualised support embedded in real-world settings.
