Tender Twig is a team of internationally certified behaviour professionals with expertise in intervention and inclusion for children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and related conditions.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science with nearly a century of research behind it, and it inverts the usual logic of intervention. Instead of applying one method to every child, our behaviour analysts study how your child learns, then design teaching around their individuality.

We believe every child deserves to be understood, not just managed. Our behavior support approach uses positive reinforcement and skill-building to reduce challenging behaviors, while respecting each child's pace, personality, and individuality.
Signs
Children with autism, ADHD, or developmental delays often show some of these early signs. If you're noticing a pattern, early support can make a significant difference.
- Limited eye contact or reduced response to social interaction
- Delayed speech or difficulty communicating needs
- Difficulty playing or interacting with peers
- Challenges with attention and focus
- High activity levels or impulsive behaviors
Noticing these signs doesn't mean something is wrong, it means you're paying attention. The earlier you seek support, the better the outcomes for your child.
ABA Therapy in Dhaka: Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the questions Dhaka parents ask most about ABA therapy, autism support, and getting started at Tender Twig.
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a scientifically validated therapy that uses positive reinforcement to teach communication, social, learning, and daily-living skills while reducing behaviors that get in the way of learning. It is the most widely researched intervention for autism and developmental delays.
Yes. Decades of peer-reviewed research show ABA therapy improves communication, social interaction, and independence for many children with autism, especially when it starts early and is delivered consistently by qualified therapists. Individual outcomes vary by child, intensity, and family involvement.
ABA can begin as soon as a developmental concern is identified, often between ages 2 and 6 when the brain is most adaptable. Earlier intervention generally leads to better outcomes, but ABA can still benefit older children and adolescents.
It depends on the child's needs and goals. Focused programmes may involve a few hours per week, while comprehensive early-intervention plans are more intensive. At Tender Twig, recommended hours are set after an individual assessment and reviewed regularly.
The cost of ABA therapy depends on the number of weekly hours and the type of programme. Tender Twig builds a personalised plan after an initial assessment and shares clear pricing for your child’s recommended hours, contact us for a quote.
Tender Twig is located in Gulshan 1, Dhaka (A1, House 13, Road 34) and provides ABA therapy and early-intervention services to families across Dhaka, Bangladesh.
ABA focuses on behavior, learning, and life skills using reinforcement; speech therapy targets communication and language; occupational therapy builds motor, sensory, and self-care skills. Many children benefit from a combination, and an assessment helps identify the right mix.
