Approach – The Nightingale Team

Our members, led by the ABA consultant, are guided by our professional principles and strive for integrity, accountability, ethical conduct and a sense of personal and social responsibility for the needs of the children we care for…

We are committed to providing quality services consistent with an individual’s right to effective treatment – the right to the least restrictive procedure that has a highest probability of resulting in effective treatment as early as possible.
This in turn will ensure access to the least restrictive setting where each individual can enjoy fulfilling their potential.

To provide quality ABA/VB programmes true to the science but not limited by it.
To offer a hands-on approach to training parents, schools, and support staff.
To apply the most effective, least restrictive, positive teaching method available.
To explore each child’s learning style aiming for their full potential.

Every child can learn – we need to discover the way to teach them.
Communication skills development is priority for learning and quality of life.
Individualised treatment is essential.
Ethical considerations to treatment are imperative.
Knowledge of ABA/VB is an on-going process for all team members.
A team oriented approach inclusive of school educators and other professionals best serves our clients.

We believe that parental involvement is critical for the success of our programmes. Because no-one knows their child as well as they do we value their input. Parents provide a true perspective on their child’s progress, as well as future goals that are important to them. Parents play a vital role in generalising newly-learned skills to setting other than the teaching setting.
