Lizard’s Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Clinic is recognised as one of Australia’s leading providers of effective evidence based intervention for young children with autism and related disorders.

ABA is a scientifically validated method which has been used for over forty years to establish lasting improvements in all areas of a child’s development, including communication, cognition, social interaction and adaptive skills. 

ABA uses positive reinforcement and many other specialised techniques to establish new skills, to reinforce adaptive and reduce maladaptive behaviours. The ABA curriculum is highly individualised and covers all areas of a child’s development including play, communication, motor, social and daily living skills. The preschool programs are delivered  in the child’s home, however a Program Supervisor sets, oversees and monitors progress, and the child attends Lizard Children’s Centre once a week for a session with a Senior Behaviour Therapist. Once a month the whole team, including parents attend a clinic meeting to review and update the child’s program.
