- How long does Behaviour Therapy take to show results?
Progress depends on the individual’s needs and consistency of therapy. Some may show improvement within weeks, while others may require months of structured sessions and follow-ups.

Parents and caregivers are actively involved. They learn strategies to support the child’s progress at home, encourage positive behaviours, and maintain consistency outside therapy sessions.
