ABA Preschool Academy

We are an Education Centre for Preschool aged Children ( 3 - 6 ) with Autism and related Diagnosis. ABA Preschool academy uses behavior analytic principles to teach children new skills. We focus on teaching in a fun and enjoyable environment. The teacher: child ratio is 4:6; our children learn through 1:1 teaching whilst still have the benefit of learning within a group environment and from their peers. We recognise that every child is different and no one child will have the same needs and abilities, all children's learning goals are individualised to their needs. Children have access to our Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA) overseeing their goals and progress; and behaviour therapy. We also recognise that families may have other interventions in place and we are happy to incorporate their learning goals into child's Individual Educational Plans (IEP) as we believe in working as part of a team to ensure the best outcomes for a child. Our hope for all our children is to promote their independence and confidence in any skills they are learning. It is of great importance to us, to the children and their families that Academy children are able to use the skills they learn independently within their own home and community environment.
