Behaviour Therapy is a common component of early intervention for children with developmental delays or disabilities, as well as neurotypical children with behavioural challenges. It aims to increase adaptive, or helpful, behaviours and reduce behaviours that are harmful or have a negative impact on learning. Effective and evidence-based Behaviour Therapy is underpinned by the science of human behaviour.
