Program Vision

The Children’s ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Support Program is designed to help children build essential skills across communication, behavior regulation, learning readiness, and social interaction. Using evidence-based ABA principles and cognitive development tools, this program supports children with behavioral challenges, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental delays, and related conditions in a structured, nurturing, and play-based environment.

Program Overview

ABA is a well-researched and widely practiced approach that focuses on understanding behavior and how learning takes place. In our program, children work one-on-one and in small groups with trained therapists who guide them through structured activities designed to build meaningful life skills. Through repetition, positive reinforcement, and naturalistic teaching methods, children gain greater independence, emotional regulation, and confidence. Cognitive strategies are embedded within the ABA structure to strengthen memory, attention, sequencing, and problem-solving, maximizing the child’s developmental potential.

Challenges We Address

Children come to the ABA program with unique needs. Our individualized approach supports the following key challenges:

1. Challenging or Disruptive Behaviors

Children may engage in tantrums, aggression, self-injury, or avoidance behaviors.
We use behavior intervention plans and positive reinforcement to teach safe, appropriate alternatives.

2. Limited Communication Skills

Children may struggle to express their wants, needs, or feelings.
We promote verbal, visual, or alternative communication methods, such as PECS activities.

3. Delayed Social Skills

Difficulties with turn-taking, eye contact, or peer interaction are common.
We teach play skills, empathy, and conversational routines in various settings.

4. Difficulty Following Instructions

Struggles with transitions or compliance can impact learning and daily routines.
We use prompting and task breakdown to help children succeed in step-by-step instruction.

5. Low Attention and Task Engagement

Some children have trouble staying focused or completing activities.
We apply reinforcement, visual cues, and cognitive attention tools to build stamina and motivation.

6. Resistance to Change or New Routines

Rigidity can lead to distress when changes occur.
We prepare children for transitions through visual schedules and social scenarios.

Core Skill Areas

1. Behavioral Regulation

We help children learn to manage frustration, reduce challenging behaviors, and respond appropriately in different settings.  

Focus Areas:

• Behavior Replacement – Teaching safe and appropriate behaviors
• Self-Regulation – Learning how to calm down, wait, and transition

Outcome: Children become more emotionally resilient, compliant with tasks, and able to engage in daily routines with reduced distress.  

2. Communication and Language

Effective communication reduces frustration and opens the door to learning and social interaction.

Focus Areas:

  • Manding – Requesting what they want or need
  • Tacting – Naming and labeling items in their environment
  • Intraverbals – Answering and asking questions
  • Receptive Language – Following instructions and responding appropriately
  • Augmentative Tools – Using visual aids when needed

Outcome: Children express themselves more effectively and engage more meaningfully with others.

3. Social Skills Development

Learning how to interact, share, and play with peers is key to confidence and inclusion.

Focus Areas:

  • Joint Attention – Sharing interest in objects or people
  • Imitation – Copying actions or words from others
  • Turn-Taking – Practicing fairness and patience
  • Play Skills – Engaging in both structured and free play
  • Perspective-Taking – Learning empathy and social understanding

Outcome: Children gain the ability to build friendships and connect in a group setting.

4. Learning Readiness and Cognitive Tools

Children need foundational cognitive and attention skills to learn successfully in classroom or home environments.

Tools and Strategies Used:

  • Visual Activities – Supporting transitions and predictability
  • Token Systems – Reinforcing positive effort
  • Sorting, Matching, and Sequencing Activities – Building logic and classification skills
  • Working Memory Exercises – Holding and using information for short tasks
  • Focus Builders – Gradually increasing attention spans

Outcome: Children become more independent learners, ready to follow routines and acquire new knowledge.

5. Daily Living and Independence Skills

ABA promotes autonomy by teaching daily tasks in small, manageable steps with built-in reinforcement.

Skills Developed:

  • Self-Care: Dressing, toileting, brushing teeth
  • Healthy Habits: Snack and mealtime behaviors
  • Responsibility: Cleaning up and organizing personal spaces
  • Safety Awareness: Understanding boundaries and learning to ask for help when needed

Outcome: Children gain confidence and independence as they learn to manage their everyday tasks, building strong foundations for self-reliance and success in daily life.

Personalised calendar

Each day, a therapist can assign personalized cognitive and behavioral activities aligned with the child’s developmental goals. These activities appear in the child’s interactive daily calendar, creating a structured, easy-to-follow routine that supports consistent growth. The calendar helps maintain engagement, track progress, and build positive momentum over time. Activities can be color-coded, prioritized, and paired with gentle reminders, allowing both parents and coaches to monitor progress and make real-time adjustments to the child’s plan.

Child-Friendly Modality for Non-Readers

Every activity in the Children’s Support Program is designed to be fully accessible to children who cannot yet read. We use audioinstructionsandclearvisualcues across all learning tasks to ensure that children can understand and engage independently. Each step is supported by spokenguidance, pictorialrepresentations and interactivevisuals that help children follow along without needing to decode written text. Whether a child is building social-emotional skills, practicing self-care routines, or engaging in sensory or communication tasks, they are guided through multisensoryinput seeing, hearing, and doing—so they can access learning in the way that works best for them. This approach not only removes reading as a barrier but also supports cognitiveprocessing, languagedevelopment, and taskconfidence in a developmentally appropriate, engaging way.  

Reporting Structure

The Cognitive Recovery Program features a robust reporting system that measures participant progress across Domains, Subdomains, Cognitive Functions, and Modalities. This structured approach ensures personalized feedback, therapist insight, and measurable outcomes over time.  

How It Works

Each time a child completes activities, performance data is logged and analyzed in relation to:

  1. Domain – Broad cognitive goal area.
  2. Subdomain – Specific cognitive or behavioral target within the domain.
  3. Cognitive Function – The underlying mental skill being exercised (example: working memory, inhibition, decision-making).
  4. Modality – The sensory and cognitive style used in the task (example: visual, verbal, spatial, kinesthetic).
