Training Never Stops

Aside from guided hands-on learning, all therapists are required to attend monthly training, which comes in the form of lectures, workshops and seminars with a heavy emphasis on case studies, role-play, case observations, videos and evaluations. On top of that, Dr James Partington, PhD, BCBA-D, also visits frequently to provide direct staff training on the latest updates of our unique ABA-VB programme.

Hyper Focused Behaviour Skills Training

We use evidence-based procedures for all our training. Our therapists will not be able to advance further until they are able to show their supervisors that they can implement the learning outcome perfectly.

Intensive supervision

With over 400 hours of onboarding training, our therapists’ expertise development doesn’t just stop in their first year. They have to undergo another 200 hours of supervision on a yearly basis from their second year onwards. The two main focuses are on the progress of each child and the level of quality the therapist provides for their evaluation.

Performance Evaluation

We value our staff and their personal development. From time to time, we will formally evaluate our therapists’ performance by giving them feedback and reviews on areas of a job well done and room for improvement. Some aspects that are being monitored include the therapist’s knowledge, leadership capabilities, work attitude, communication skills and organisation skills.

We are always looking for talents to join our team. If you are looking for a career, check this page for new openings.
