behavioural education
London
Behavioural Educational Services was established in 2000, and is now celebrating
13 years of home & school programme success, during which we have worked in
partnership with families, local authorities, educational professionals, and
national children's charities For the past 13 years, BES has provided CABAS®
based early intensive interventions designed to increase the skills and
abilities of children and young adults with special needs through the systematic
use of applied behavioural analysis (ABA). ABA has a proven record of success
with individuals with a diagnosis of autism and ADHD, as well as developmental,
communication, and behavioural disorders. Early intensive intervention provides
children with special needs the greatest possible chance at future
mainstreaming, while also helping them achieve their highest intellectual,
social and emotional potential. BES designs and supervises ABA home and school
programmes that are based on theories of development and learning that focuses
on variables that are observable, while also proposing a flexible research
methodology that can benefit all children. Behaviour analysis benefits equally
from its assessment methodologies, which emphasise factors that maintain or
influence a child’s behaviour, as it does from its intervention procedures,
which focus on the quality of implementation, effectiveness and social validity
of the programme. In addition to our ABA work, BES are providers of Fast
ForWord®, a learning acceleration programme based on over 30 years of
neuroscience research, that helps develop the cognitive skills required to
enhance learning. Strengthening these skills can result in a wide range of
improved critical language and reading skills such as phonological awareness,
phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, decoding, working
memory, syntax, grammar, and other skills necessary to learn how to read or to
become a better reader. Fast ForWord® includes several training programmes that
are individually adaptive and interactive computerised language-learning
programmes that incorporate the latest neurological research in brain
plasticity. These intensive, computerised programmes are designed to help
leaners increase the rate at which their brains can process auditory
information, which then enhances abilities in communication, reading, writing,
and spelling.
