Our Saturday club aims to introduce the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to families who want to start using ABA, as well as being an extra resource for those already familiar to it. Run over 12 weeks, the club aims to be nurturing, fun and child-centred, and is open to children aged from two to 16 years. Children are split by age into two groups - the younger ones attend in the morning and the older ones in the afternoon.
​
Sessions are constructed and led by our fantastic ABA professionals and each child has their own one-to-one volunteer tutor. Children can practise social and play skills, improve their communication skills and work on specific individual targets determined in consultation with parents. Parents are also given the opportunity to
train to be a volunteer tutor so they can work alongside their child learning how to use the new skills.
​
Parents must stay on site for the duration of the club, but it's a great place to meet other families who are in a similar position to yours and there are light refreshments for the adults.
​
Although we’re not able to provide the club free of charge, if you are self funding places are subsidised. We can also accept payment through your Local Authority.
