Relocating from the UAE to the UK with ABA Therapy Support

Specialist Behavior Support for Families Moving from Dubai, Abu Dhabi & the Gulf

At All Behavior Consultancy, we are a leading UK provider of ABA therapy for families relocating from the UAE and Gulf states to the UK.

For over a decade, we have supported international families navigating the transition from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the Middle East into the UK system—ensuring continuity of care, stability for children, and clarity for parents.

If you are planning a move—or need urgent support—we are here to guide you every step of the way.

The UK system is complex—and without the right guidance, families can feel overwhelmed.

Why Choose All Behavior Consultancy?

A Decade of Supporting UAE–UK Transitions

We understand both systems.

We know:

  • What high-quality ABA looks like in the UAE

  • How the UK system differs (and where families get stuck)

  • How to transition your child without losing progress

We don’t just provide therapy—we provide continuity, advocacy, and strategy.

Our ABA Therapy Process (What to Expect)

We know starting (or restarting) ABA in a new country can feel overwhelming.

That’s why our process is designed to be clear, structured, and supportive.

1. Initial Consultation & Information Gathering

We begin by understanding your child, your family, and your current situation.

  • Parent interview

  • Review of existing reports (UAE or elsewhere)

  • Identification of priorities for transition

2. Comprehensive Assessment

Our BCBA-led assessment includes:

  • Detailed questionnaires

  • Home and/or school observations (2–3 hours)

  • Skill and behaviour analysis

This allows us to fully understand your child’s:

  • Communication

  • Social skills

  • Learning profile

  • Behavioral needs

3. Individualized Programme Design

Following assessment, we develop a personalized ABA programme, including:

  • Clear targets

  • Teaching strategies

  • Behaviour support plans

You will receive a detailed written report within 14–21 days outlining your child’s full programme. 

4. Therapy Implementation

We deliver:

  • BCBA-led ABA programmes

  • Sessions by RBTs and UKSBA-certified professionals

  • Flexible scheduling (daytime, evenings, weekends) 

Programmes typically range from 6–30 hours per week, depending on your child’s needs. 

5. Ongoing Support & Progress Monitoring

We don’t step back—we stay with you.

  • Regular supervision by a BCBA

  • Data-driven decision making

  • Parent training and coaching

  • Collaboration with schools and other professionals

Our approach is always:

Compassionate. Collaborative. Individualized.
