Across the world Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is widely accepted as a successful intervention for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD and other complex behavioural needs, and is endorsed as a scientifically proven approach by numerous associations and professional bodies.  

Behaviour Management Strategies

When designing an ABA or early intervention programme for an individual we consider two core components: Behaviour Management and Skills Acquisition. Through Behaviour Management we seek to reduce behaviour which is detrimental or harmful to learning. This can include defiance, self-injurious behaviour, aggression, property destruction, outbursts, obsessive/compulsive behaviour and various stereotypic behaviour. Through Skills Acquisition we seek to remove the relevance for detrimental behaviour by teaching the adaptive skills necessary to meet needs appropriately. Such skills include: functional communication, social competence, self-help, safety, leisure/recreation, and a range independent life-skills.
