Newberry Park’s intensive and progressive ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) treatment is a specialised programme for education of children with special needs and learning difficulties. At Newberry Park we use a very active teaching and learning process that is purely driven by goals and outcomes. Our teaching is individually tailored to each child which, in the beginning stages, relies heavily on 1-on-1 ratio with the main focus on communication, academics, play, social, self-help and other functional living skills.
The amount of ABA treatment hours will be dependent upon the student and may range from 15 hours to as many as 40 hours per week. Sessions are usually based on 3-hour blocks and may occur 5 days per week.
The duration of the sessions and the number of hours per child are all dependent on the following factors:
- The age of the child
- Programme placement when appropriate
- Ancillary services
Our 1:1 Intensive Progressive ABA Treatment includes
- One specialist per child
- An individualised programme that is built on the assessed needs of the child
- Learning through play and practice in multiple settings
- All learning is tracked via data and the child’s progress is recorded
- Weekly supervision by case consultants
- Monthly progress meetings
ABA works well for children with educational and special needs, and it is well known as the intervention of choice for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Our educational centre focuses on making sure that both children with special needs and autism are taught skills that will enable their growth and development.
