Curriculum
The ABA center for special needs special needs centre will adopt ABA programme designed for the school environment and offers a proven teaching system designed around the individual. We use ABA to deliver a broad curriculum in line with each child's Individual Education Plan (IEP). Staff training is an integral part of the ABA system. Staffs are trained in both the theoretical and practical approach to delivering an ABA programme. Each child's teaching programme involves breaking down tasks into learnable elements and teaching them until mastery is achieved. The child is constantly rewarded for desired behaviour with systematic use of positive reinforcement and praise. Each element of the teaching process is continuously charted and assessed. This enables staff to identify strengths and weaknesses and to help the child progress in a positive and targeted direction. Selection of all tactics is on an individual basis and research based. The School Curriculum also includes art & craft, computer training and there will be regular opportunities for indoor and outdoor play. Makaton signing, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), sign language and other forms of augmented communication are used if appropriate. The ABA center for special needs teaching staff receives intensive training, and their skills are assessed on an ongoing basis to ensure that standards are maintained. Staff training is an integral part of the ABA system, which believes that investing in the staff is investing in the child's future. ABA research has shown a direct correlation between the expertise of the instructional personnel and the eventual outcome for children.
