We’re Asia’s Most Qualified Therapists!
Our training is designed to achieve the outcome of a higher recovery rate for children with autism and other developmental delays.
With a wealth of experience in behavioral intervention and early learning programs, our team of qualified and well-trained therapists is supported by our consultants to provide the best education for your child.
Our Supervisors & Therapists
Our supervisors are case managers who take charge of clinical assessment, program/individual education plan (IEP) development, clinical supervision and clinical meetings with parents. They have 10 to 18 years of experience in behavioral and language intervention. Our therapists, with an average 5 years of clinical experience, work closely with your child in achieving individualized learning goals progressively. As the first point of contact, they keep track of your child’s progress and address any changing needs observed.
Staff Training
All our staff are trained by our Principal Consultant, Dr James Partington and Social Thinking® Author, Michelle Garcia Winner. Continuous training is our code of professionalism. We have frequent staff training sessions every month. Before being assigned to their first case, all therapists go through a systematic ABA-VB training program which include natural environment teaching, verbal behavior instruction, shaping of behavior, reinforcement techniques, discrete trial teaching, correction procedures, interspersed techniques and data collection methods. On top of that, our staff also receive training in Social Thinking, shadow teaching and self-help skills. Continuous training enables our staff to be sophisticated, consistent and up-to-date in their clinical practices that best meet the needs of children experiencing developmental delays.

Our Facilities
Training Never Stops
Aside from guided hands-on learning, all therapists are required to attend monthly training, which comes in the form of lectures, workshops and seminars with a heavy emphasis on case studies, role-play, case observations, videos and evaluations. On top of that, Dr James Partington, PhD, BCBA-D, also visits frequently to provide direct staff training on the latest updates of our unique ABA-VB programme.
Hyper Focused Behaviour Skills Training
We use evidence-based procedures for all our training. Our therapists will not be able to advance further until they are able to show their supervisors that they can implement the learning outcome perfectly.
Intensive supervision
With over 400 hours of onboarding training, our therapists’ expertise development doesn’t just stop in their first year. They have to undergo another 200 hours of supervision on a yearly basis from their second year onwards. The two main focuses are on the progress of each child and the level of quality the therapist provides for their evaluation.
Performance Evaluation
We value our staff and their personal development. From time to time, we will formally evaluate our therapists’ performance by giving them feedback and reviews on areas of a job well done and room for improvement. Some aspects that are being monitored include the therapist’s knowledge, leadership capabilities, work attitude, communication skills and organisation skills.
