How our programs work

At CareforSpecialNeeds, we deliver high-quality, evidence-based Behaviour Therapy (ABA / PBS) programs designed to empower children with autism to reach their fullest potential—at home, at school, and in the community.

Whether your child has temporarily withdrawn from mainstream education due to challenging behaviours, or is currently attending a school or nursery and requires structured support, our programs are designed not just to teach, but to transform.

Every journey begins with understanding.
We begin with a thorough assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) / UKBA(cert) to understand your child’s developmental profile, communication style, behavioural patterns, and learning needs.

We evaluate:

• Communication and language abilities
• Attention span and learning readiness
• Social and play interactions
• Self-help skills and daily independence
• Barriers to inclusion (e.g., meltdowns, aggression, sensory sensitivities)

This forms the basis of an individualised treatment plan tailored to your child’s goals and family priorities.

No two children are the same, and neither are our programs.

We develop a fully bespoke ABA program designed to help your child:

• Build critical academic, social, and functional life skills.
• Reduce behaviours that interfere with learning or daily life.
• Develop emotional regulation and confidence.
• Prepare for successful participation in mainstream or special education settings.

All plans are dynamically adjusted regularly based on real-time progress and evolving needs.

Your child will receive compassionate, structured support from experienced Behaviour Technicians, supervised closely by a BCBA/UKBA(cert).

We provide therapy:

• In your home
• At nursery or school
• In our community spaces

Using a blend of:

• Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) – Structured skill-building through repetition and reinforcement
• Natural Environment Teaching (NET) – Learning through everyday interactions and play
• Positive Behaviour Support – Encouraging appropriate behaviour using evidence-based strategies

Every session is an opportunity for growth and we make learning motivating and meaningful.

If your child is currently in an early years or school setting, Behaviour Therapy can significantly enhance their ability to engage, learn, and connect.

We help children:

• Improve focus and concentration in group settings.
• Follow multi-step instructions from teachers.
• Engage in positive, meaningful interaction with peers.
• Participate in classroom routines with greater independence.
• Develop pre-academic and academic readiness skills.

We work directly with SENCOs, teachers, and support staff to implement strategies that align with the IEPs based on the national curriculum, promoting consistency across environments.

For families whose child has left school due to behavioural challenges, we offer a clear path back into the classroom.

Our programs:

• Target the reduction of behaviours that led to school exclusion.
• Build essential classroom skills: attending, following routines, and task completion.
• Teach coping mechanisms and emotional regulation for school-based anxiety or overwhelm.
• Support the development of independent learning behaviours.

We collaborate closely with schools and local authorities to ensure smooth, sustainable re-entry into mainstream education ( where possible) with follow-up support and progress monitoring. 

What sets our service apart is our commitment to measurable, meaningful outcomes.

• Every skill and behaviour change is tracked using professional data systems.
• Progress is reviewed frequently and shared transparently with families and educators.
• Our decisions are always evidence-based, no guesswork, just growth.

This ensures your child’s development is not only visible but lasting.

ABA/PBS is most effective when families and educators feel empowered. That’s why we offer:

• Parent training sessions to build skills and confidence at home
• Teacher and support staff training to maintain consistency in the school
• Multi-disciplinary collaboration with speech therapists, occupational therapists, and educational psychologists, where needed.
