ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) uses play and positive reinforcement to teach skills that make daily life easier: asking for help, self-care, following routines and coping with change. At Poorvam Care in Electronic City it runs alongside speech therapy and OT, for children aged 18 months–14 years.
ABA breaks a skill into small steps, teaches each one, and rewards progress. These are the skills families most often ask for.
Applied Behaviour Analysis is built on how children learn. It teaches new skills step by step and makes behaviour that gets in the way of learning or daily life less likely, mostly by teaching a better way to get the same need met.
Every programme is individual. It starts from your child's strengths and challenges, and the goals might be talking or using pictures to communicate, dressing, following instructions, or playing with other children.
Modern ABA looks like play. Our behaviour therapists mix three approaches, so learning stays structured without feeling like drills.
| Approach | What it looks like | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Discrete Trial Training (DTT) | Short, clear teaching turns at a table, with a reward each time | New skills like naming, matching and copying |
| Natural Environment Teaching (NET) | Teaching inside play, snack time and everyday routines | Using skills in real life, not just in the room |
| Pivotal Response Training (PRT) | Following your child's lead and interests during play | Motivation, starting conversations, play with others |
No punishment, no cure claims, and no goal of making your child seem "typical". Goals are skills that matter to your child and family, chosen with you. If your child is upset, the therapist slows down or changes the activity.
Each step is written down, measured and shared with you.
Some children also join small social skills groups to practise with other children their age. For children with more than one need, ABA is planned with speech therapy for autism, occupational therapy and special education, so every therapist works towards the same goals.
The therapy rooms use visual schedules and are kept calm and sensory-friendly, which helps many children who need ABA settle and learn.
ABA is used most with autistic children, but it supports a range of developmental and behavioural needs.
Autism, ADHD and ODD are diagnosed by a developmental paediatrician or child psychiatrist. We will tell you if an assessment suggests one, and therapy can start while you wait. A child who loses words or skills should see a paediatrician soon.
Many children need ABA with one or two other therapies. All of it is under one roof, from one plan.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 keep the same hours. Families come from Bommanahalli, HSR Layout, Hosa Road and Kudlu Gate. Led by Apoorva Rai.

ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) is an evidence-based therapy that uses positive reinforcement to teach new skills and make difficult behaviour less likely. For children with autism, ADHD and other developmental conditions, it can help with communication, social skills, self-care and getting ready for school, through structured goals that are measured as you go.
Starting early helps, and many children begin between ages 2 and 5. Older children benefit too. At Poorvam Care we work with children aged 18 months–14 years, and set the pace and style of sessions to suit your child's age and stage.
It depends on your child. A programme for a few specific skills needs fewer hours than one that covers many areas at once. After the assessment we recommend a weekly schedule that balances progress with school, rest and family life, and we review it with you as things change.
Yes. ABA works alongside speech therapy, occupational therapy and special education from one shared plan, so communication, sensory needs, motor skills and behaviour are worked on together and every therapist uses the same goals.
At Poorvam Care, fees depend on how many sessions a week your child needs. Session packages are available for regular weekly therapy. We explain the full cost on the first call, once we understand your child's needs, so you know it before anything starts.
No, and no therapy should promise that. Autism is not a disease to be cured. ABA builds skills that make daily life easier for your child and family, such as asking for what they need, coping with change and doing more for themselves.
It should be, and that is how we run it. Sessions use play, your child's interests and praise or rewards, never punishment. Goals are chosen with you and focus on skills that matter to your child. If your child is distressed, the therapist slows down or changes the activity.
One-to-one sessions run 45 to 60 minutes. Some children also join small social skills groups to practise with other children. Parent training sessions are part of the plan, so the same strategies are used at home. Families outside Bengaluru can do behaviour therapy and parent training by video: see online behaviour therapy.
