School Preparation and
Social Skills Training

As parents, you aim to give your child the best education.

We share your goal at ARN.
We open doors to school and community by giving children the foundational skills needed to find success in a real life setting.

Because we don’t just prepare your child for school, we prepare them for the world.

At ARN, we believe every child deserves the tools to succeed not only in school, but also in friendships, family life, and the wider community.

That’s why our program combines a comprehensive skills-learning curriculum with a strong focus on essential social skills. From learning how to share, take turns, and play with peers, to building confidence in group activities, we help children connect meaningfully with the world around them.

✨ What makes our approach different?

  • We teach functional communicationso your child can express their needs and feelings clearly.
  • We nurture social understanding— making friends, joining play, and handling everyday interactions with confidence.
  • We prepare children for real-world settings, so skills practiced at ARN naturally carry over to home, school, and the community.

Backed by Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA-VB), one of the most research-supported and effective interventions, our teaching is both progressive and holistic. Studies show that ABA helps children successfully transition to mainstream schools and beyond — but at ARN, we go further by ensuring your child also develops the social and emotional foundations they’ll need for lifelong growth.

💜 At ARN, we don’t just teach skills. We help children discover their voices, build friendships, and thrive in every part of life.

Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (Revised)

To assist us in identifying the skills that your child needs to work on improving, we use a comprehensive assessment tool, the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised (ABLLS-R).
ABLLS-R is one of the most effective and scientifically proven methods.
It is a skill tracking system used to keep an up-to-date report of your child’s ability. The ABLLS-R system tracks your child’s skills in five main areas (seen below), giving our therapists an accurate guide of which skills your child has mastered, and which needs to be worked on.
 
These skills are just some of the 544 important skills from 25 skill areas including language, social interaction, self-help, academic and motor skills, that we help your child pick up so he or she can succeed not just in school, but in life.
 
It is also a curriculum guide used to inform strategies for developing an effective Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for your child.

Curriculum

Our program is divided into 3 Levels, which takes into account your child’s current developmental phase based on their Individual Education Program (IEP). Each Level is designed to incorporate teaching opportunities that are best suited to maximise your child’s growth, and master the skills they need to progress to the next developmental phase, with the eventual goal of preparing them sufficiently for mainstream schooling.
