ABA Horizons: Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services to help children on the Autism Spectrum

At ABA Horizons, we believe that every child should have access to Evidence Based services.

We provide [Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)] services to help children on the Autism Spectrum (or likely to be) and other additional needs.

"The goal for early intervention is maximise the potential of your child."

What does this mean? In a nutshell – to help your child understand the world around them, so they’re as independent as possible, and feel more comfortable in it as they grow up.

We have served people on the spectrum across the country, providing services remotely and directly. Our team focusses on home-based ABA Therapy because the home is where children spend the most time. We can however work in the community to help generalise newly learned skills. We also provide services in schools, though this requires your child to have ABA funded on their [EHC Plan].

No matter how or where we work:

We bring the utmost care, patience, respect, and empathy when working with your child to help them progress.
We’re acutely aware that the circumstances for every family is different. We do our best to help you access ABA services regardless.

Session Information: We provide ABA programs to individuals on the autism spectrum and/or with other additional needs, usually up to the age of eleven. We can also provide services for children who are likely to be on the spectrum or are awaiting the results of an autism diagnostic. Considering it can take anywhere from 6 months to 2.5 years receive a diagnosis (depending on where you are), and the fact that ABA is undeniably expensive, we appreciate that every individual and their family in need of services, have unique needs and circumstances. This is why we offer a variety of services: to make ABA as accessible to as many people we possibly can.
Before any services are provided, we must assess your child to determine their learner type and recommendation for services. Your child will have a customised program developed specifically for his or her strengths and needs. Our programs are rooted in proven evidence-based research and is incorporated in you child’s learning plans. Our Autism Evaluations are designed with Education Health Care Plans (EHCPs) in mind and includes self-assessments, interviews and observations with a BCBA via Tele-Services
Tele-Services allow for families to have access to ABA programmes using modern technologies. We have two Tele-Service programmes: Tele-Ed: For advanced learners, or older children, who can learn independently and use a computer or tablet Tele-Guidance: For beginning learners or younger children that can’t yet learn independently.

Accessing this service

Age Ranges: 0 - 11
Eligibility Criteria: We would require you to attend a brief internal screening via teleconference with our Neuropsychologist. This internal consultation's primary focus is to help us determine if Applied Behavior Analyisis is a good fit for your child or loved one. This is because ABA is not necessary for everyone, we would like to ensure that it is the most effective therapy for your child. An Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis is helpful when determining how we can best meet your child's needs. However, we appreciate the difficulty some parents face when trying to obtain a diagnosis which can include lengthy wait times if you are currently awaiting or seeking a diagnosis.
