ABA Therapy in a Group
Support Your Child’s Community Development
What Is ABA Group Therapy?
ABA is one of the most researched and effective early intervention programs for children with autism. While one-to-one sessions focus on personalized skill-building,
ABA group therapy adds another powerful layer — learning through peer interaction.
ABA group therapy combines the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis with small-group learning.
Why Choose ABA Group Therapy at TLC?
Our progressive ABA group therapy is designed to grow with your child. We tailor each session to their developmental level, balancing structured learning with natural play. This approach builds confidence while encouraging lasting friendships and independence.
Similar to 1:1 ABA therapy, group therapy at TLC requires:
-
Assessment
-
Intervention Plan
-
Treatment and Review.
Our assessment includes a 1-3 hour trial session to see how your child learns within a group setting. From there, we will identify whether your child has met the prerequisite skills to learn in a group setting.
The Science Behind ABA Group Therapy
How it works in a group setting
Modelling & Imitation
Children observe peers and naturally learn by copying positive behaviours.
Generalisation
Skills aren’t just practiced in isolation; they are applied in real-world group activities, making them more likely to stick
Reinforcement
Therapists use encouragement and positive feedback to help children repeat successful actions.
Social Learning Theory
Studies show that children thrive when they can practice communication and problem-solving in a supportive group.
What TLC Group Sessions Look Like
Our ABA group therapy sessions are thoughtfully designed to balance structure with fun. Each child receives guidance from our therapists while also gaining the unique benefit of learning alongside peers.
Here’s what you can expect in a typical session:
Small Group Settings
We keep our ABA therapy groups intimate so every child feels safe, supported, and included.
Blended Learning
Children work on individual goals while also joining group activities that build cooperation, communication, and problem-solving skills
Play-Based Social Interaction
From role-playing to turn-taking games, children practice real-life skills in a natural and encouraging environment
One-to-One Support Within Groups
Our certified therapists provide tailored attention when needed, ensuring that progress is both personal and shared
Safe & Secure Play
Sessions use interactive toys and games modelled around real-world places and situations, helping children explore everyday scenarios in a way that feels both safe and engaging.
This balance of personalised care and peer learning is what makes our progressive ABA group therapy so effective. For a general guide on ABA Therapy, visit our page What Is ABA?
