At Kids Therapy Clinics Australia, we believe every child deserves the chance to flourish. For many families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, and behavioural challenges, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapy offers just that: a research-backed pathway to meaningful growth.


What Is ABA Therapy?



Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach grounded in behavioural science. It helps improve specific behaviours—like communication, attention, social skills, and self-regulation—by breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps and using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviours.


ABA is not a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, it’s individualised to each child’s strengths, challenges, and developmental goals. Therapy sessions are structured yet engaging, often involving play-based activities that children enjoy.


How Does ABA Work?

ABA therapy uses principles such as:

  • Positive reinforcement: Rewarding desired behaviours to increase their frequency.

  • Prompting and fading: Helping children complete tasks with assistance, then gradually removing the support.

  • Task analysis: Breaking skills into smaller, teachable steps.

  • Data tracking: Monitoring progress in real time to guide the therapy plan.

Therapists work 1:1 with your child, and sessions may take place at home, in clinic, or in community settings depending on the program.


Is ABA Therapy Effective?

Yes. ABA is one of the most widely researched and evidence-based interventions for autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders.

📚 Research Highlights:

  • A meta-analysis by Reichow et al. (2018) found that early intensive behavioural intervention (EIBI), a form of ABA, significantly improved IQ, communication, and adaptive behaviour in children with autism.

  • According to the National Autism Center (2015), ABA-based interventions are considered “established” treatments, showing positive effects across numerous high-quality studies.

  • Long-term studies (e.g., Lovaas, 1987) showed that children receiving intensive ABA therapy made greater gains in cognitive functioning and independent living skills.
