A Place Where Potential Meets Possibility

Profile Narrative

Neha Patel is a CDA-licensed Behavioural Analyst with over seven years of experience in Applied Behaviour Analysis. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with Counselling Skills and a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from Middlesex University, UK, and is both a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) and a Qualified Behaviour Analyst (QBA).

Neha works with children and families navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, developmental delays, and behavioural challenges that affect daily life at home and at school. Rather than focusing on the behaviour alone, she looks beyond it to understand what’s really driving it, then designs individualised plans that work in real life — not only in the clinic. Her approach is trauma-informed and compassion-based, combining evidence-based ABA principles with close collaboration with parents, learning support assistants, and school teams to ensure consistency across every environment a child moves through.

Signs to Look For

These are common indicators — at home or in the classroom — that a child may benefit from behavioural support:

  • Frequent meltdowns, tantrums, or emotional outbursts
  • Difficulty communicating needs, wants, or feelings
  • Repetitive behaviours or strong resistance to change in routine
  • Limited social interaction or difficulty connecting with others
  • Diagnosed with ASD or struggles with ADHD or hyperactivity
  • Behaviour at home, in public, or in the classroom that feels difficult to manage
  • Developmental delays affecting daily life or classroom participation
