Good, Safe Interventions to Support Your Child

Safe Interventions for your Child


As Autistic Allies we firmly believe ABA is not a good intervention for your child.

Please follow the facebook page  ABA Controversy Autism Discussion UK  for more details

Also type 'ABA' into the search bar here for good links on why not.  We have a whole host of links for you to look through


The type of interventions that DO work for your child are very individual

For most kids we would  recommend Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy if needed.

Check out our Speech Therapy link : Speech Therapy Activities

Occupational Therapy link:  Occupational Therapy help and ideas

For Sensory Ideas check out this page:
Sensory Aids and Play Ideas

and of course seek out professions in this field, in your local area

If you child in non verbal check out AAC
Non Verbal Communication - Introducing AAC

This facebook page is a good one to seek alternatives to ABA

Better Ways than ABA

Here are some good interventions we recommend which may suit your child:

10 Autism Interventions

Will keep adding to this page when I can. in the meantime the 'Better Ways' Facebook page will give you many ideas



There are lots of different therapies which can help your child but you have to choice them carefully.  Any which say your child won't develop without them are scaremongering, as no therapist has a crystal ball


Good luck

Occupational Therapy help and ideas

You can't replace an Occupational Therapist.  Most are wonderful and give great advice.  Any information here doesn't replace the benefits of this professional, but just like speech therapists, they may be scarce or the waiting list may be long.  Anyway here are some great links and please don't forget to also go to our sensory page too as many activities connect
