What parents say

ShiyiPosted on Google

Our family’s journey with the ABC has been nothing short of extraordinary. When we first started enrolling 1:1 ABA therapy with ABC, Edmund was just two years old, non-verbal with delayed social responsiveness. As parents, we were filled with uncertainty and hope, and it was clear from day one that we were in the right place.

Over the past four years, the incredible team at ABC, led by their caring and dedicated supervisors and therapists, Jasmine, Jay, Ummi, Rutha, Aqilah, Yoga and the entire team, has not only supported Edmund but truly transformed his life. With their expertise, patience, empathy and love, Edmund progressed from being non-verbal to confidently transitioning to preschool at the age of five. And now, at six years old, he is accepted into an inclusive international school and adapted well to routines of classroom setting, a milestone that once felt so far away.

The incredible team at ABC didn’t just teach Edmund, they celebrated every small victory with us, encouraged us as parents, and helped us see the endless possibilities ahead. Their dedication went beyond just therapy sessions, it felt like they became part of our extended family, always rooting for Edmund’s success :)

We will forever be grateful for their role in shaping Edmund into the cheeky, positive, determined and confident boy he is today. To any parent considering ABA therapy, I cannot recommend ABC enough, they truly change lives, and they changed ours.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, ABC, for walking this journey with us and helping Edmund shine.

We moved to Malaysia with our autistic son, who at the time, was unable to communicate in English and had to start from scratch. The team at ABC was incredibly patient, kind & supportive throughout his journey. They provided a nurturing environment where he felt understood & safe, which made all the difference. After just a year at ABC, our son has made tremendous progress and is now able to transition to a more academically focused school. We are beyond grateful for the dedication & compassion shown by everyone at ABC. They truly care about each child’s unique needs and potential 👍🏻

I was a wreck when I came to ABC in early 2019. At that time, my son was already undergoing therapies but it reached a point where nothing worked anymore. At ABC, Aryan was assessed and he was assigned to an incredible team. This team was my biggest support system. We all witnessed how Aryan progressed by leaps and bounds over the years. Today, he is able to self regulate, express himself and can even have a decent conversation. Aryan is well liked by his teachers and friends in school. Thank you ABC for being there for our family when all hope seems lost and for helping Aryan become the lovely boy he is today!

My 5yo son was there for a year (March 2023 to March 2024) and I’m forever grateful for all that he had experienced in ABC Bangsar. He’s always looking forward to go to school and he’s very close with all his teachers, the therapists who are professional and yet shows great compassion and love towards my son. He shows great improvement and most importantly shows much less tantrum and he’s very verbal now hence much happier boy now 🥰

Therapy built for real-life carryover

Many children receive separate speech, occupational, and behavioural sessions that contradict one another. We integrate all three under one supervisory team.

  • Communication that works in real life

    We focus on functional language that carries over to home, preschool, and community settings, giving your child practical ways to request, refuse, and connect.

  • Fewer behaviours that stand in the way

    Challenging behaviours usually stem from unmet communication needs. We identify root causes to build emotional regulation and self-advocacy, measured every session.

  • Progress you can see and verify

    No guesswork. Every developmental goal is tracked with session-by-session clinical data, supervised by a certified BCBA, and reported to you transparently every day, with monthly parent meetings.

Why standalone 45-minute speech therapy often fails

A child cannot build communication if they cannot sit, attend, or regulate their sensory system. We integrate Speech Therapy directly with Occupational Therapy and ABA for real-world carryover.

  • Regulation precedes speech (OT integration)

    Language cannot develop in a dysregulated nervous system. Our occupational therapists address sensory overload, attention regulation, and postural control so the child is primed and ready to produce speech.

  • Functional communication over isolated words

    We do not practise tabletop flashcards in isolation. We focus on practical, functional communication, giving your child the verbal or AAC tools to request, protest, and navigate everyday life at home and school.

  • High-frequency reinforcement (BCBA supervised)

    Instead of 45 minutes once a week, communication goals are reinforced throughout the child’s daily intensive routine. Every breakthrough is measured, tracked, and reported to you transparently every day.
