Behavioural Therapy (ABA)
Behaviour is communication. When a child has autism, big feelings that spill into meltdowns, or trouble joining other children in play, modern ABA helps — not by making them comply, but by understanding what they're trying to tell us and building skills that make daily life feel easier. Our approach is assent-based and child-led: we follow your child's interests, build on their strengths, and never use punishment or forced eye contact. Behavioural therapy supports your child's care and coordinates with your developmental paediatrician — it never replaces medical advice.

One tick is enough of a reason to ask. Two or more — book a check.
