Empowering Lives Through Evidence-Based Interventions: About BASES

BASES is a small agency comprised of Behaviour Analysts based in Perth, Western Australia. We serve people with developmental disabilities and their families by providing the most effective and efficient behaviour-analytic interventions available.

We offer:

  • Comprehensive interventions that address a wide range of skill deficits
  • Focused interventions targeting specific behavioural challenges
  • Supplementary services tailored to individual needs

All our interventions are grounded in published research on learning, behaviour, and evidence-based strategies.

Our Mission

We strive to achieve two key outcomes for every client:

1. Expanding their participation in various settings and activities

2. Equipping them with the skills to learn and grow independently in a natural, supportive environment

Who We Help

Most of our clients are children with Autism Spectrum Disorder receiving Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI) based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). However, ABA is effective across a wide range of behavioural challenges and populations, allowing us to support a diverse group of individuals.

We serve families across metropolitan Perth (Clarkson to Rockingham) and offer case-by-case services for rural Western Australia.
