Woodbury Autism Education And Research Limited

Woodbury is a small independent school for children with autism.  At Woodbury we provide students with a fully research validated and systematic education program based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).  The school is located within the peaceful grounds of Balcombe Heights Estate in Baulkham Hills.  Autism is a spectrum disorder and effects can be devastating not only for the child but the whole family unit.  In its mildest form, autism inhibits an individual from forming relationships and prevents them from understanding  normal social interactions which are part of our everyday lives.  At its more severe, autism can make individuals extremely difficult to manage making life difficult for the individual and their families, and prevent the person from living independently as an adult.  The cause of autism is not known, and there is not a known cure. Recent research indicates that 1 in 100 children worldwide have an autism spectrum disorder.
At Woodbury our teaching methodology provides children with the greatest oppportunity to reach their full potential and take their righful place in the community as fully functioning adults.  Every child in Australia has a right to an appropriate education, and by supporting our school you are making a difference in the lives of children with autism and their families.
