With the foundation of ABA, our approach is systematic and strategic with measurable goals and targets. When the foundation is consolidated, the principles and curriculum of Social Thinking is adopted to facilitate a child’s cognitive and social understanding. We have a strong emphasis on the development of play, social and language skills through our program, yet incorporate many events and activities that are important to a childhood such as field trips, festival celebrations, birthday parties, etc. We aim for the children to make progressive and significant progress here.
