Behaviour Therapy

Supporting early development using scientific evidenced based therapy for children with Autism backed by years of research and proven results

Early Foundations Program (Aged 2–9)

At Links to Life, our Early Foundations Program supports children Aged 2–9 who are experiencing developmental delays, behavioural concerns, or challenges with early learning. We use Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)—a practical, evidence-based approach derived from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)—to help children build essential life skills in the environments where they live, learn, and play.

What We Focus On

Children in our Early Foundations Program often work toward goals in the following areas:

  • Functional Communication: Using words, signs, visuals, or devices to express needs and emotions.
  • Daily Routines & Sleep: Creating structure to support rest, transitions, and regulation.
  • Self-Care Skills: Learning dressing, feeding, and toileting tasks with increasing independence.
  • Play & Social Interaction: Engaging in shared play, taking turns, and interacting with peers.
  • Emotional Regulation: Managing frustration, coping with change, and developing resilience.
  • Family Relationships: Strengthening connections with caregivers and siblings.
  • Readiness for Learning: Improving attention, persistence, and task engagement.

NDIS Funding Categories

  • Our Early Foundations Program can be funded through the following NDIS categories:
  • Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living
    0118 Early Childhood Supports (for children under 9)
    0128 Other Professional Services (for children over 9)
  • Improved Relationships
    0110 Behavioural Intervention Supports (for behaviours of concern)

These supports cover therapy sessions, assessments, behaviour support planning, and caregiver training.

Our program includes

  • A personalised therapy plan developed in collaboration with families.
  • 1:1 support sessions in home, daycare, or clinic environments.
  • Developmental and behavioural assessments.
  • Practical, play-based interventions tailored to your child’s age and goals.
  • Collaboration with educators, speech therapists, and other providers where needed.

Getting Started

  • We take a staged, family-centred approach to ensure your child’s support plan is both clinically informed and practical for your everyday life.
  • Parent Consultation & Goal Setting – Your Therapy Supervisor will meet with you to explore your child’s development, discuss NDIS goals, and identify focus areas for support.
  • Developmental & Behavioural Assessment – We use clinical assessments (e.g. Vineland) and family input to develop a clear picture of your child’s current abilities and needs.
  • Initial Sessions – Therapy begins with relationship-building and routines, gradually introducing skill-building activities tailored to your child.

Program Participation

  • Early intervention works best with consistent support and collaboration between therapists and families. This program is most suitable for families who:
  • Can commit to 3 sessions per week.
  • Are funded under the NDIS.
  • Are willing to be actively involved in supporting learning at home.
