We provide 1:1 and 2:1 behaviour intervention to children with Autism, Language delays and developmental delays.
CBC provides Applied Behavior Analytic (ABA) therapy services with emphasis on Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior. We use the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised as well as the VB-Mapp as a tool to assess your child's level and progress. Our treatment emphasizes the role of motivation in your child’s learning and focuses on functional communication training. Therapeutic time is divided between teaching around the house/center (natural environment training-NET), structured teaching (intensive table teaching-ITT) and community practice.
The success of our treatment program is in part due to data collection and modification of procedures to ensure the most rapid learning of skills.
We offer a range of groups and programs in order to teach group and individual learning skills. We have 1:1 ABA programs, 2:1 programs, social classes and language groups and a new introduction is our small class of 4 children using ABA.
If students attend a mainstream or remedial school we offer a shadowing program with constant school consultation. This way we can ensure that your child will reach their full potential in a school setting
If choosing CBC as your choice of intervention for your child, you are choosing an intervention (ABA) that has shown scientifically to be the most effective treatment program that is
Making CBC your choice of intervention, you are choosing an intervention that has shown scientifically to be the most effective treatment available today. Instead of following the latest fad or therapy that lack research you will be investing energy in a program that has been shown time and time again to the number 1 treatment.
We offer a multi-disciplinary approach, which means that we recognize that there is often a need to utlise the expertise of other professionals across disciplines, who all share a similar philosophy to the tratement of autism. Therefore many children who receive behavioural intervention services will also receive speech therapy and occupational therapy to address the various areas of deficits. We feel that this creats a comprehensive program that addresses all the developmental needs of the child.
PROGRAMS
Every student has an individualized program developed just for them and this is modified constantly as your child progresses. All children have very clearly defined objectives and goals, data is taken for every protocol, which means that if your child is not learning the skills we are able to identify it early and change our method of how we are teaching.
As our programs are developed for each individual child to our focus is to teach them pivotal foundation skills for future success. We use specialized teaching techniques which are research based to ensure the student is learning at the maximun rate, ie Discrete trial as well as errorless learning.
Our individual programs provide curriculum development across all developmental areas of need in order to ensure successful skill development as well as generlisation of these skills across people, materials and enviornments
A few examples of our areas of development:
- learning how to learn
- language and communication
- play skills
• Social skills
• Cognitive/ academic skills
• Motor skills
• School/Pre-school readiness behaviours
• Daily living skills
Learning is fun, and we ensure that the child has a positive enjoyable learning experience and this is shown in the childs program, where we create a balance of work and play with fun activities
Mission
Our mission at CBC is to provide quality ABA services to children with special needs. CBC is dedicated to providing quality research based behaviour analytic therapy services to children and adolescents diagnosed with autism and other developmental disabilities.
All our programs focus on using the principles of applied behavior analysis and Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior to teach language, socialization, play skills, motor skills, academics and the management of problem behaviors across all environments. We like to ensure that families are involved in the process as we understand the challenges that parents may face and offer knowledge and skills to equip themselves with.

Shadowing and Homework groups.
CBC offers shadowing support to children who require facilitators at school. They will be trained correctly and will follow a well designed program that has been put togther by a behaviour consultant. We want to ensure a positive and easy integration into a main stream school.
The program will be designed around an initial meeting with parents. Where we will discuss academic and medical history of the child. We will then visit the school and observe the child in this setting during class time and play time, this will be followed by a meeting with all teachers that are involved with the child at school. A program will then be designed around all the information collected.
A final meeting will then be held with parents and teachers where we will discuss the plan as all member involved play a critical role in the success of the intervention.
Regular meeting with parents and teachers will be organized, and regular feedback with the tutors to ensure maximun learning progress happens.
We also offer homework groups. If your child is in a school setting, and requires extra homework lessons after school this can be organized, by one of our trained professionals. We will intergrate behaviour intervention with their homework to ensure maximun progress is achieved.
