Who is the program for?
The Thriving Kids Program supports children and families living with:
- ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder): to build communication, social skills, flexibility, and emotional regulation.
- ADHD: to improve focus, impulse control, emotional regulation, and school participation.
- ID (Intellectual Disability): to foster independence, daily living skills, and adaptive functioning.
- GDD (Global Developmental Delay): to promote developmental progress across communication, play, motor, and cognitive domains.
We recognise that every child’s journey is unique. That’s why the program is tailored to the child’s individual goals and family priorities.

Our approach
At the heart of the Thriving Kids Program is a collaborative and multidisciplinary model, where behaviour therapists, speech pathologists, exercise physiologists, and psychologists work together to design comprehensive care.
Key elements of our approach include:
Functional Assessment
We begin by understanding each child’s strengths, preferences, and areas of support. Functional assessments identify the “why” behind behaviours and set a strong foundation for meaningful interventions.
Skill-Building Programs
We target core developmental areas such as:
- Communication (speech, gestures, AAC, PECS)
- Social skills (turn-taking, friendships, play)
- Emotional regulation (coping strategies, self-awareness)
- Independence (self-care, daily routines, transitions)
- Academic readiness (attention, early literacy, problem-solving)
Evidence-Based Interventions
We draw on internationally recognised, research-backed methodologies, including:
- Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA): shaping and reinforcing positive behaviours.
- Naturalistic teaching strategies: embedding learning into play and everyday routines.
- Visual supports and structured teaching: helping children understand and succeed.
- Family training and coaching: empowering parents and caregivers to extend strategies beyond the clinic.
Progress Monitoring
Data is collected in every session, ensuring programs remain responsive and adaptive to your child’s progress. Families receive regular updates and clear, measurable reports.
At daar, monitoring is grounded in clinical experience and evidence: our multidisciplinary team reviews progress regularly, communicates transparently with families, and adjusts plans as needed to ensure care is effective, accountable and aligned with each child’s goals.
