BEHAVIOURAL AND LANGUAGE STIMULATION

At Sensitivity, we offer Behavioural Therapy in Paschim Vihar, Delhi NCR as part of our comprehensive, multidisciplinary intervention approach. Our Behavioural Psychologists use evidence-based techniques derived from:

• Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
• Play Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Other proven Behaviour Modification theories

What Is Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)? 

ABA is a scientifically backed therapy that focuses on understanding how behaviour is learned, influenced, and changed over time. At our centre in Paschim Vihar, Delhi NCR, our psychologists carefully observe and analyse each child’s behaviour to understand:

• How behaviour works
• How it is influenced by the environment
• How learning takes place

Our Goals in Behavioural Therapy 

Our goal is to encourage behaviours that promote a child’s development and reduce behaviours that interfere with learning or daily life. We work closely with families to create personalised behaviour strategies that are practical, respectful, and rooted in the unique needs of every child. 

 We Use Behavioural Therapy to:

• Increase language and communication skills.
• Improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics.
• Decrease problem behaviours (e.g., aggression, tantrums, refusal).

What Do Our Psychologists Do?

• Teach everyday life skills.
• Use one-to-one or group-based instruction.
• Apply positive reinforcement techniques.

When a child receives a reward after displaying a desired behaviour, the likelihood of that behaviour repeating increases over time — leading to lasting, positive change.

How We Use Positive Reinforcement at Sensitivity

1. The therapist identifies a goal behaviour.
2. These positive reinforcements gradually lead to meaningful and sustainable behaviour change.
3. Every time the child demonstrates that behaviour or skill, they receive a meaningful reward — such as:
   • Praise
   • A favourite toy or book
   • Extra playtime
   • Access to a preferred activity or space

Understanding the A-B-C Model: Antecedent – Behaviour – Consequence

This foundational approach helps us understand and modify behaviour:

• Antecedent – What happens just before the behaviour (e.g., a request, sound, or situation)
• Behaviour – The child’s response or action
• Consequence – What follows the behaviour (e.g., praise, withdrawal of privilege, or no response)

Example:

• Antecedent: Teacher says, “Time to clean up your toys.”
• Behaviour: The child yells, “No!”
• Consequence: Teacher removes the toys and says, “Okay, toys are all done.” 

Now with Behavioural Therapy:

• Antecedent: Teacher says, “Time to clean up.”
• Behaviour: Child is prompted to ask, “Can I have 5  more minutes?”
• Consequence: Teacher replies, “Of course, you can have 5 more minutes.”

Over time, with consistent reinforcement, the child learns to replace inappropriate behaviours with more functional responses.  

Behavioural Therapy for ADHD and Autism

Research consistently shows that behavioural therapy is an essential part of treatment for children with ADHD and Autism. This includes:

• Direct behaviour therapy with children.
• Behaviour management strategies for parents.
• A structured combination of both approaches.
