ABA is a type of therapy that can improve social, communication, and learning skills through positive reinforcement. This is a method of treatment for children with autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). It is based on the principles of appropriate behaviour including speech, academics and life skills that can be taught.
At IAC, we believe in individualised approach and we use different treatments and therapies to suit every child’s needs. We have developed our own curriculum that is based on the national curriculum, combined with ABA, TEACCH, Son-Rise, and the STAR Programme. Our curriculum is focused on the development of the child and teaches attending, listening, language, communication, pre-academic, academic, self-help, social, and play skills.
IAC provides one session as part of the planning process to determine a befitting Behaviour Intervention Plan for each student. This process includes conducting a functional behaviour assessment and developing behaviour interventions based upon that assessment. The result is a framework for teaching that will support a child’s development of new skills.
