Where we work

ABA Therapy in the settings your child knows.

Therapy Ahead is community-based rather than tied to a single clinic address. Depending on your child’s needs, therapist availability and the setting, support may take place at home, at school, or in the community environments where everyday skills are naturally used.

Three settings, one set of goals

Which settings make sense depends on your child. Most families use more than one.

Home-based ABA Therapy

The place most routines actually happen, and often where a small change makes the biggest difference to a week.

  • Morning and evening routines
  • Self-care and independence
  • Communication at home
  • Mealtimes
  • Caregiver participation

  • Participation
  • Peer interaction

Community-based ABA Therapy

Practising skills in the places they are actually used, with the noise and unpredictability that come with them.

  • Parks and playgrounds
  • Libraries
  • Recreation programs
  • Shops and everyday errands
  • Other appropriate community settings

Why the setting matters

Learning a skill in one setting does not always mean it will transfer everywhere else. Practising across real-life environments can help a child use a skill with different people, routines and situations. How much that helps, and how quickly, differs from child to child.

Service availability depends on location, therapist matching, scheduling, and whether the setting can appropriately accommodate services. We will be straight with you about what is possible in your area before anything is arranged.
