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

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.
