Who we are: Oak Bridge Academy is an alternative school structured around the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) designed specifically for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. ABA focuses on the principles that explain how learning takes place, and is a scientifically validated approach to understanding behaviour and how our behaviour is affected by the environment. The core principles of behavioural science used at Oak Bridge Academy include contingency management, goal setting, self-control, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT). Each of these principles, when used in combination, will contribute to developing a resilient and flexible student.
