What Is Applied Behaviour Therapy (ABA)?

Applied Behaviour Therapy (ABA) is a research-backed approach that helps children learn meaningful skills and reduce challenging behaviours.
By using principles like positive reinforcement, functional understanding, and step-by-step skill teaching, ABA therapy supports communication, emotional regulation, and independence.

At daar, our behaviour support practitioners conduct detailed assessments to understand why behaviours occur, then build practical plans that teach positive alternatives. Every session is adapted to your child’s needs—empowering long-term progress.
