How ABA works with us

What is ABA?

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach that looks at how children learn and what helps new skills stick. Modern ABA is play-based, individualised and respectful — it builds on your child's interests and strengths.

Our principles

  • Child-led & play-based
  • Assent-based — if your child says no, we listen and adjust
  • Family-chosen goals
  • Combined with Positive Behaviour Support
  • Data-informed decisions
  • Collaboration with speech pathologists, OTs, kinder and school

What to expect

  1. 1

    Free 15-minute chat

    A relaxed phone or WhatsApp chat about your child and what you'd like help with.

  2. 2

    Initial assessment

    Parent interview, observation at home or kinder, a skills assessment, and if needed a closer look at behaviour.

  3. 3

    Individual program plan

    Clear goals in plain English, agreed with you and reviewed in supervision with a BCBA.

  4. 4

    Ongoing sessions

    Typically 2-hour sessions, 3–4 days per week.

  5. 5

    Parent coaching

    Built into the program so progress continues between sessions.

  6. 6

    Progress reviews every 3 months

    A written summary you can share with your NDIS planner, paediatrician or school.

How we measure progress

We record simple data during sessions and share easy-to-read updates, so decisions are based on what's actually working for your child.

What ABA with us is NOT

  • Not about making your child “look typical”
  • Not rigid drilling at a table for hours
  • Not about compliance for its own sake
  • Never punishment-based
