ABA Therapy Services

ABA Therapy Services in the UK

Every service we offer, and how to work out which one you need.

Most families arrive here in the middle of something difficult. A nursery has raised a concern. A referral has gone in and nothing has come back. Behaviour at home has reached a point where the whole household is organised around avoiding it.

You don't need to know what you're looking for yet. This page explains what each of our services actually does, so you can work out where to start.

Everything we offer is delivered in your own home, or online where distance makes visits impractical.

What is ABA therapy?

Applied Behaviour Analysis, Explained

Applied Behaviour Analysis is an evidence-based approach to learning and behaviour. It starts with a question most approaches skip: why is this happening?

Behaviour has a function. It usually means escape from a demand, access to something wanted, attention, or relief from sensory discomfort. Identify the function and the strategy stops being trial and error.

A qualified behaviour analyst assesses your child, designs an individualised programme, and teaches new skills through structured, positive reinforcement — building communication, independence and regulation, and reducing the behaviours getting in the way of daily life.

NICE guidance supports involving parents and carers directly in psychosocial interventions for autistic children, and reviews of naturalistic and parent-mediated approaches consistently find that teaching within everyday routines helps children generalise skills rather than leaving them tied to one setting and one adult.

That last point is why we work where we do.

Our services

Our Services

In-Home ABA Therapy

One-to-one ABA sessions delivered in your own home, built around your child's real routines — mealtimes, play, bedtime, sibling interactions. This is our core service and the foundation most programmes are built on.

Best for: children whose main difficulties happen at home; families who want intensive, structured one-to-one support.

Children's Assessments

A structured evaluation by a qualified behaviour analyst identifying your child's current skills, developmental gaps and what's driving any challenging behaviour. Usually the first step.

Best for: families who don't yet know what's going on; anyone wanting a proper baseline before starting therapy.
Learn more about children's assessments

Early Intervention

Play-based ABA for children under five, delivered at home during the years when development responds most strongly. Communication is usually the first target.

Best for: children under five, diagnosed or not.
Learn more about early intervention

Parent Coaching

Hands-on training so you can use behaviour-analytic strategies yourself, in your own routines. We teach, model, then coach you while you use it.

Best for: families on a waiting list wanting to act now; anyone who wants to lead their child's support with expert backup.

Virtual Autism Therapy

Live video sessions with a qualified behaviour analyst, available anywhere in the UK. Not a recorded course — a practitioner on the call, coaching you in real time.

Best for: families outside our in-person coverage; rural areas; keeping momentum between home visits.

ABA Therapy at Daycare

Behaviour support delivered inside your child's nursery or daycare setting, working alongside the staff who are with them every day.

Best for: children whose difficulties are mainly in group settings; families preparing for a reception transition.

The process

How We Work

01

Free consultation.

A conversation about your child and your priorities. No jargon, no pressure — and an honest answer about whether we're the right fit.

02

Assessment.

A qualified behaviour analyst observes at home and gathers baseline data.

03

Your plan.

Measurable goals with the reasoning explained. You approve it before anything starts.

04

Sessions begin.

Delivered one-to-one, under senior supervision.

05

Coaching throughout.

You learn the strategies as we use them.

06

Review and adjust.

Data every session. If something isn't working, we change it — that isn't a failure of the method, it is the method.

Trust & safeguarding

Our Standards

Qualified, registered practitioners.

Behaviour analysis in the UK is credentialled through the UK Society for Behaviour Analysis (UK-SBA), whose register has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority since January 2023 — the same framework used across regulated health professions. Registrants must evidence a current DBS check, safeguarding training and professional liability insurance.

Enhanced DBS-checked staff.

Every practitioner entering a family home holds a current enhanced DBS check.

Supervised delivery, always.

No therapist works unsupervised. Every case is overseen by a senior behaviour analyst.

Consent-led practice.

We use positive reinforcement. We do not use punishment procedures. We treat your child's refusal as communication rather than defiance, and we won't promise to make an autistic child appear non-autistic — that isn't our goal, and it isn't a promise anyone can keep.

You can read more about our team and approach on our About Us page.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

For most families it's either an assessment or an initial consultation. If you don't yet know what's driving your child's behaviour, start with an assessment — everything else works better once you have that picture. If you already know the difficulties and want support in place, an initial consultation will get you to a plan faster.

No. Every service we offer works from your child's current skills and behaviour rather than a diagnostic label. Many families start while still on an NHS waiting list and continue once the assessment pathway begins.

Yes, and most families do. A common pattern is assessment first, then in-home therapy with parent coaching built in, with virtual sessions filling gaps when in-person visits aren't practical.

There's no universal answer, and anyone giving you a number before meeting your child is guessing. Research on intensive early intervention has often examined 20–40 hours per week for very young children, while lower-intensity programmes combined with strong parent-implemented strategies also show meaningful gains. We recommend a starting intensity after assessment and review it as your child progresses.

Our work is home-based, with support available in nursery and daycare settings where a child's main difficulties occur in group care. For school-age support, talk to us about what's practical for your child's situation.

No. Private support runs entirely separately from an NHS pathway. You keep your place on the waiting list, and starting early often means you arrive at the assessment with far better information about your child.
