What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that breaks skills into small steps and uses reinforcement to build communication, social, and daily-living skills.
The cost of the years-long waitlist in London isn't only financial. It is measured in delayed access to therapy during developmental windows that clinical research identifies as time-sensitive.
Only one centre in the London area is on record offering aba therapy for autistic individuals. If you know of another, let us know.

Questions worth asking before you register
- Is this service currently accepting new OAP-funded clients, or is there a separate waitlist for funded spots?
- What is your current estimated wait, and can you confirm it in writing or by email?
- Do you require a diagnosis report, physician referral, or specific intake paperwork before I can book?
- Is there a deposit, hold fee, or cancellation policy attached to the waitlist?
- If I also register with another provider, will accepting an opening here affect my other waitlist positions?
