Parental training and involvement are the key elements of PEAT.
By knowing how, parents can help their children maximise their potential, with the objective of helping them participate in the mainstream education system and wider community and going on to lead independent adult lives.  Parents are the most consistent people in their children’s lives.
Home Programme.
Our home programme service offers individualised programmes based on the application of the principles and procedures of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). These home programmes are designed around your child’s individual needs in the areas of:
Common areas that parents report difficulties and need to be addressed are: eating, sleeping, toileting, social skills, self-help skills and challenging or inappropriate behaviour.
ABA can address any issue of behaviour with all populations across all environments.
Toilet Training
For parents finding it difficult to successfully toilet train their children with autism and/or typically developing children PEAT can provide Behaviour Analysts to implement a ‘toileting programme’ to do so.
Appropriately qualified Behaviour Analysts will use the application of the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to successfully toilet train your child.
Toileting programmes are individualised for each child based on the child’s circumstances, age, ability, likes/dislikes, etc.
Typically for 2-5 days a Behaviour Analyst will work in your home setting with your child to successfully toilet train as well as showing you exactly how to carry on and implement strategies to maintain consistency with your child and generalise their new skill.
Tele-consultation
Tele-consultation can be arranged with our Behaviour Analysts through Skype as an alternative for a home visit if it is not appropriate at any given time, for example, there is a contagious sickness in the family home and a home visit cannot take place.
Family Days
Monthly parent training sessions alongside social skills and supervised play for children with autism and their siblings.

PEAT has provided help, comfort and reassurance to thousands of local parents, families and carers who have benefitted from PEAT services.
At PEAT we help families understand and manage the behaviour of individuals with autism through the science of behaviour. Here is what some parents and carers had to say about PEAT and its services.
This was undoubtedly the most individualised/child centred programme that has led to the one of great successes for my son.
