Emotional regulation is the ability to manage feelings like frustration, excitement, fear, disappointment, and joy.

For Autistic children, this skill can be harder to master due to sensory sensitivities, communication challenges, or difficulty understanding social cues.

But with your support and a few simple strategies, your child can learn to:

• Recognise what they’re feeling

• Express emotions safely

• Use calming strategies during difficult moments

• Rebuild after a meltdown with calmness and trust

Autistic or not, your child is loved wholly, deeply, and without conditions. That, more than any therapy or routine, is what makes the difference.

Every parent is a great parent if they are able to love unconditionally.

Read on for 10 Reasons why you’re not letting your Autistic child down.

Finding the right ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) therapist for your child can feel like navigating a maze, especially when you're trying to make the best decisions in a world that may not always accommodate neurodiverse needs. 

At All Behaviour Consultancy, we believe families deserve honesty, transparency, and genuinely expert care. 

Here are some red flags to watch out for when choosing an ABA therapist, and what to look for instead.

As of March 2025, over 224,000 people in England are currently waiting for an Autism assessment. 

The Government has acknowledged the Autism crisis, but progress remains slow. It’s a National Crisis in the UK.

At All Behaviour Consultancy, we work with families every day who are living through this wait. Parents who know something is different but can’t get a referral. Children struggling in school while their names sit on a list. Adults who’ve masked or struggled for years, now seeking answers. 

The wait times aren’t just frustrating - they’re life-altering.

The government has acknowledged the crisis, but progress remains slow.

Parenting an Autistic child is a journey filled with both challenges and moments of joy.  

We understand that every child is wonderfully different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all playbook. 

But there are thoughtful, effective strategies you can bring into your home to create a calmer, more connected and nurturing environment.

Whether you’re just beginning to understand your child’s needs or you’ve been walking this path for a while, these practical tips are designed to support you, the real expert on your child.

Recent news has revealed that ‘thousands of families feel trapped in the turmoil of the UK education system’, as both mainstream and special schools reach breaking point.

As a huge advocate for the SEN community and an ABA Therapy provider in London, we feel this news at our very core.

In England, two-thirds of special schools were at or over capacity last year. With rising diagnoses of SEND, both special and mainstream schools are in a precarious position.

In Sierra Leone, there exists a pervasive stigma and false belief system surrounding children with special needs.

Our founder, Georgiana Koyama, was honoured and celebrated on 21st February 2024, for her passion, dedication and tireless work spent on advocating for equality and autism acceptance across the globe.

With a new team of dedicated and qualified SEN tutors, All Behaviour Consultancy are thrilled to offer a unique online learning experience through Zoom, where we combine Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), and personalised tutoring to create an individualised 12-week program.

The best way to deal with challenging behaviour is to create an environment that reduces the chances of it happening.

When motivation is high, it allows for a calm session.

Our approach to supporting your child is in line with your goal of ensuring his/her happiness above all else. So, his/her entire behavioural programming is based on this.

As this term comes to a close and we prepare to break for school holidays many feel relief, but for some, this transition may evoke worry, fear, and restlessness due to a change in routine. 

Restrictive and Repetitive Behaviour’ is one of the key pillars that makes up the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder as noted by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 2013 and can play a big role in making transitions for Autistic people. For these individuals, leaving school for two weeks may not have the same excitement attached to others due to the fact it disrupts the routine they rely on.

ABA therapy is the most widely researched intervention for autism. With 40 years of scientific research on Applied Behaviour Analysis, it’s a structured, scientific approach that improves social skills, communication, self-care and learning skills.

If you’re a parent of a child with learning disabilities or autism, you may be struggling to manage your child’s behaviour at home.

Or perhaps you’re going through the process of diagnosis, and feeling overwhelmed and stressed with the potential challenges you may be facing.

One of them is deciding how to best support your child and this is how you most likely came across this blog.

First of all, you and your child will meet a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst who will gather as much information as possible about your child.

(Always make sure you are working with a BACB-credited ABA Specialist).

This will be done through an interview and a formal assessment such as The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) which assesses the language, learning and social skills of your child.

This assessment will provide crucial information about your child’s current level of skills, and areas of strength, as well as highlighting areas where your child needs support. Based on the assessment, targets specific to your child’s needs will be set.

ACT is recognised by the National Institute of Health- National Registry of evidence-based practices and is supported by over 300 peer-review journal articles.

In simple terms, ACT tells us to “Live a rich, full, meaningful life with less struggle.”

ACT suggests that we should avoid using or teaching strategies that attempt to suppress, control or eliminate negative thoughts. Instead, ACT teaches us to practice accepting these negative thoughts and feelings and suggests alternative ways of interacting with them.

In response to these uncertain times, All Behaviour Consultancy has created ‘ABC Connect‘. ABC Connect is a platform where we support and help families with Autistic children using online video sessions. Families will have the opportunity to have a range of different packages to support them and their ASD child from a distance, including regular consultations and parent training. As parents, we wish to have unlimited time with our children where we don’t have to worry about having to leave them to go to work. In a way, this seems like a good opportunity for us to bond and reconnect with our children in the way many of us imagined if we didn’t have life contingencies to play with

We had fun meeting the members of our social skills club. After introductions, we kicked off our session by asking members to brainstorm a name for the club (let’s face it social skills group is so not cool). All of them came up with really good ideas and at the end, they voted for ”THE ACADEMY UNION CLUB”, which is now the official name of the club.

I founded All Behaviour Consultancy on the premise that all individuals who require support with social, emotional and behavioural needs to be able to access evidence-based therapy, irrespective of their socioeconomic background. As a team, we have continued to build on this mission.

April is Autism Awareness month. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder and is characterised by delays in the development of social, language and communication skills. Other common neurodevelopmental disorders include Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia. As we have seen the assessment and support for children with neurodevelopmental disorders grow over the past years (Constantino & Charman, 2016), we wanted to the highlight the importance of assessments for adults who may not have been diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder, and subsequently are not accessing services they require.

ACT discusses six core principles that can help people defuse these negative constructs by changing the function of these (defusion), and working on committed actions towards their values.

This approach is diverse and can help a wide range of children and adults including those, but not limited to, Autism, ADHD, Social Emotional Behavioural Disorders and those with problems with their mental health.

Precision Teaching focuses on four main principles which are

• The child/learner knows best

• Focus on observable behaviours and describe these using pinpoints

• Use frequency measurements

We love these principles at All Behaviour Consultancy. We always adopt a person-centred approach and aim to focus on the person and the environment.

We wholeheartedly believe that the child knows best, which means that if the individual is not learning, then it is due to the environment or the teaching methods.
