We can support children from 2 years old to 11 years old.

Early years intervention is most effective for ABA therapy (2-6 years)

Research by Eldevik et al. (2006) and Lovaas (1987) highlights the benefits of intensive ABA programmes, often involving 20–30 hours per week over a minimum of two years, for achieving the best outcomes in the populations studied.

At The Haven Clinic, we recognise that every child and family is different. We offer flexible packages ranging from 4 to 20 hours per week, allowing families to explore ABA and find a level of support that works for them. Our 4-hour package can be a great starting point for families who would like to introduce their child to ABA and explore how it may support their development.

We recommend an initial consultation with our professionals to discuss your child’s individual needs, talk through our available packages and help you find the most appropriate level of support for your child.

Yes! At The Haven Clinic, a formal diagnosis is not required for your child to access support. We support children and young people both with and without a diagnosis

Our approach is centred around the individual needs of each child. An assessment will be carried out as part of our service to help us understand your child’s strengths, needs, challenges and areas where additional support may be beneficial.

Based on this ongoing assessment, we will develop a personalised programme or care plan that addresses your child’s identified needs. This allows us to provide meaningful, child-centred support rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis or label.

Progress is measured against the individual goals and outcomes identified within your child’s programme or care plan.

We recognise that progress looks different for every child. Our team will observe, assess and review your child’s development throughout their time with us, looking at areas relevant to their individual needs. Goals and strategies can then be adapted as your child develops and their needs change.

We also value feedback from parents and carers, as this helps us understand how the child is progressing across different environments, including at home and within the community.

At The Haven Clinic, partnership with parents and carers is one of our core values. We believe that positive outcomes are best achieved when children, families and professionals work together.

Parents and carers are encouraged to be actively involved throughout their child’s journey with us. We value your knowledge and understanding of your child and will work collaboratively with you when identifying needs, setting goals, reviewing progress and developing appropriate strategies.

Where appropriate, we will also provide guidance and practical strategies that can be used at home, helping to create consistency and ensure that the support your child receives extends beyond their sessions at The Haven Clinic.

Our aim is to create a supportive partnership in which families feel heard, informed, respected and involved in decisions about your child’s care.
