In-Home & In-Centre Service
Effective ABA intervention for ASD is not a “one size fits all” approach and should never be viewed as a “canned” set of programmes or drills. On the contrary, a skilled therapist customises the intervention to each child’s skills, needs, interests, preferences and family situation. For these reasons, an ABA program for one child will look different than a program for another. That said, quality ABA programs for individual’s with ASD have the following in common:

1. Early Intervention (ABA therapy)
At ASD Community Support Service, we deliver evidence-based early intervention programmes aligned with the Australian Government’s Guidelines for Good Practice. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) supports vary widely—from behaviour therapies like Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to developmental and combined approaches.
Our experienced therapists focus on your child’s unique strengths and needs, not just their diagnosis. We partner with families to:
- Empower parents with practical strategies to support learning at home
- Collaborate with childcare centres, schools, and allied health professionals
- Tailor interventions to help each child thrive in their daily environments
We combine structured ABA techniques with play-based learning to foster communication, social skills, and independence.

What Kind of Progress Can Be Expected with ABA?
Competently delivered ABA intervention can help children with ASD make meaningful changes in many areas. However, changes do not typically occur quickly. Rather, most kids require intensive and ongoing instruction that builds on their step-by-step progress. Moreover, the rate of progress – like the goals of intervention – varies considerably from person to person depending on age, level of functioning, family goals and other factors.
Some children do acquire skills quickly. But typically, this rapid progress happens in just one or two particular skill areas, while much more instruction and practice are needed to master another skill area such as interacting with peers.
