Individual ABA Programmes

A child in nursery learning the alphabet.

For families who want individual, 1:1 support tailored to their child, wherever they are – at home, in school, or in the community.

Our individual ABA Programmes provide flexible 1:1 support for children and young people across a wide range of ages, needs and settings. Every programme begins with assessment and meaningful goals rather than a standard package. Support can focus on communication, self-care, safety, learning, classroom participation, social skills or independence. A trained practitioner delivers the programme with regular oversight from a qualified professional.

Who is this for?

This service may suit a child who needs focused individual teaching alongside home life, school or another placement. Some children need foundational support with communication, daily living or safety; others may be in mainstream education but need help with routines, sustained engagement, independent work, social learning or academics. Programmes are flexible because children’s needs do not always fit neatly into one service label. We start with the situation your family is facing and the outcomes that matter most.

What it involves

We start with an assessment and conversation with the family to identify priorities and understand the child’s current skills. Goals are written in observable, measurable terms and broken down into achievable teaching steps. A trained practitioner then works 1:1 with the child, using motivation, prompting, reinforcement and carefully planned teaching opportunities. The programme may target communication, self-care, health and safety, engagement, independence, classroom routines, social skills or academics. Data is collected so the supervising professional can see what is changing and adjust the approach. Families are kept involved, and we plan from the outset for skills to generalise across people, activities and settings rather than existing only during ABA sessions.

How it’s delivered

Programmes are designed to be flexible and may be delivered at home, in school, in the community or in our dedicated setting, depending on the goals and practical arrangements. The frequency and length of sessions are based on individual need, availability and the funded or privately arranged package. Practitioners receive training specific to the child’s programme and regular supervision from a qualified behaviour analyst. Where school staff, family members or other professionals are involved, we share strategies and review progress together where consent allows. This helps reduce inconsistency and makes it more likely that useful skills transfer into everyday routines. Delivery is reviewed regularly rather than remaining fixed if the child’s needs change.

Qualifications and oversight

Support is delivered by trained practitioners and early years educators, with regular supervision and oversight from qualified behaviour analysts. Oversight includes assessment, programme design, review of data, coaching and changes to teaching strategies when needed. We work within professional standards and keep families and relevant professionals involved in decisions.
