International Family Relocation to the UK

Specialist Behaviour Support for Families Relocating to the UK from Around the World

At All Behaviour Consultancy, we are a leading UK provider of ABA therapy for families relocating from any part of the world to the United Kingdom.

For over a decade, we have supported international families navigating the transition from countries across the globe, including the United States, Canada, Australia, the UAE, the Gulf region, Europe, and beyond, into the UK system. We ensure continuity of care, stability for children, and clarity for parents every step of the way.

Whether you are planning ahead or need urgent support upon arrival, we are here to guide your family through every stage of this transition.

The UK system is complex and, without the right guidance, families can feel overwhelmed. We are here to change that.

International Family Relocation to the UK: A Decade of Specialist ABA Support

We understand:

What high quality ABA looks like in different countries and educational systems around the world.

How the UK system differs from international systems, and where relocating families most commonly encounter difficulties.

How to transition your child into a new programme without losing the progress they have already made.

We do not just provide therapy. We provide continuity, advocacy, and strategy.

Our ABA Therapy Process: What to Expect

We know that starting or restarting ABA therapy in a new country can feel overwhelming. That is why our process is designed to be clear, structured, and deeply supportive from the very first conversation.

1. Initial Consultation and Information Gathering

We begin by taking the time to understand your child, your family, and your current situation in full.

Our initial consultation includes a detailed parent interview, a thorough review of existing reports and assessments from your home country, and a careful identification of the key priorities for your child's transition.

2. Comprehensive Assessment

Our BCBA led assessment is thorough and individualized. It includes detailed questionnaires completed by parents and caregivers, home and school observations of two to three hours in duration, and a full skill and behaviour analysis.

This assessment gives us a complete picture of your child's communication skills, social skills, learning profile, and behavioural needs, so that every element of the programme we design is grounded in real, current evidence about your child.

3. Individualized Programme Design

Following the assessment, we develop a fully personalized ABA programme for your child. This includes clear, measurable targets; evidence based teaching strategies; and a comprehensive behaviour support plan tailored to your child's unique needs and your family's goals.

You will receive a detailed written report within 14 to 21 days, outlining your child's full programme and the recommended next steps.

4. Therapy Implementation

We deliver BCBA led ABA programmes, with sessions carried out by Registered Behaviour Technicians and UKSBA certified professionals. We offer flexible scheduling including daytime, evening, and weekend appointments to suit the demands of family life during relocation.

Programmes typically range from 6 to 30 hours per week, depending on your child's individual needs and goals.

5. Ongoing Support and Progress Monitoring

We do not step back once a programme begins. We stay with your family for the long term.

Our ongoing support includes regular supervision by a BCBA, data driven decision making and programme review, parent training and coaching, and active collaboration with schools and other professionals involved in your child's care.

Our approach is always compassionate, collaborative, and individualised.

Supporting Your Transition Beyond Therapy

Relocating is not just about therapy. It is about rebuilding your child's entire ecosystem in a new country, and we support families with every part of that process.

School Placement and EHCP Guidance

Navigating the UK school system is one of the most challenging aspects of relocation for families of children with additional needs. We support families in identifying appropriate schools across mainstream, specialist, and independent settings; preparing and submitting Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) applications; preparing professional reports to support those applications; and advocating for the right level of provision for your child.

Access to Trusted Professionals

Through our established UK wide network, we connect relocating families with the additional professionals they need, including Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Educational Psychologists, SEN legal advocates, and school placement specialists.

Practical Relocation Support

We help families prepare practically for the first three to six months in the UK, including maintaining your child's progress during the period of waiting for services to be established, choosing the right local authority area for your family's needs, and setting up immediate home based ABA support from the moment you arrive.

A Culturally Responsive Service

We understand that relocation is deeply personal, and that every family arrives with their own cultural context, expectations, and experience of disability and care.

Our team is experienced in working with families from countries across the globe, multilingual households where English may not be the primary language at home, and families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds with diverse perspectives on disability, therapy, and education.

We prioritize respect, representation, and psychological safety in everything we do. You will never feel like an outsider in our service.

Start Your Move with Confidence

Relocating your child's care to a new country is one of the most important decisions your family will make. With All Behaviour Consultancy, you will have:

A trusted, experienced UK based ABA provider with over a decade of international transition experience.

A team that understands how ABA therapy and SEN support works in countries around the world, and how to bridge that knowledge with the UK system.

A structured, supportive transition process designed to protect your child's progress and your family's wellbeing.

A network of trusted professionals that goes far beyond therapy, covering every aspect of your child's needs in a new country.

Families who have relocated from countries around the world consistently tell us…

"You understood both systems and helped us navigate the gap between them."

"You helped us avoid costly mistakes we would never have known to look out for."

"You made the transition feel manageable at a time when nothing else did."
