Building helpful skills, step by step
Applied Behaviour Analysis
A structured, individualised approach that helps children build communication, learning and daily-living skills, and reduce barriers to participation.
In plain language
Applied Behaviour Analysis is a structured, evidence-informed approach that breaks skills into small, teachable steps and uses encouragement to help children learn. At HEAL, we use ABA respectfully — focused on skills that help a child participate, communicate and enjoy everyday life, guided by the family’s priorities.
Areas we work on
- Communication and requesting
- Play and social interaction
- Daily-living and self-help skills
- Attention and learning readiness
- Reducing barriers to participation
What a session may involve
Sessions are one-to-one or in small groups, in a calm space with activities matched to your child’s goals. A therapist encourages and gently guides new skills, keeping sessions positive and paced for your child.
- Structured play-based learning
- Communication and requesting practice
- Turn-taking and social games
- Everyday-skills practice
Working with your family
We share strategies you can use at home so skills carry into daily life, and we set goals together based on what matters to your family.
How we review progress
Progress is tracked against your child’s individual goals and reviewed with you regularly, in plain language.
