Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a structured teaching method based on the individual abilities and motivations of the child. It focuses on encouraging desired behaviors and skills through positive reinforcement, step-by-step guidance, and consistent tracking of progress. The goal is to make learning successful, engaging, and frustration-free.
Learning starts with what the child can already do. New skills are introduced with plenty of support (called prompts) to avoid mistakes and build confidence. These supports are gradually removed as independence increases.
Desired behavior is rewarded (reinforced), making it more likely to occur again. Undesired behavior, including mistakes, is mostly ignored so it fades over time. Instead, appropriate alternatives are taught and reinforced.
When a child shows a skill at least 80% independently three times in a row, that goal is considered achieved. Progress is tracked using data and visualized in graphs to monitor development clearly.
Problem behaviors are observed to understand when and why they happen. This helps create a personalized action plan. Big goals are broken down into smaller, manageable steps to gradually replace unwanted behavior with positive actions.
Guidance is also offered in the child’s home environment. This support focuses on practicing practical skills that occur in daily life, tailored to the needs and routines of the household. The guidance can cover a variety of areas, depending on the specific help requested by the family.
Everyday skills such as communication, self-care, social interaction, and routines are practiced in the setting where they naturally occur—the home.
Yes. The support is based on the individual needs of the child and family, ensuring that it aligns with their daily life and specific goals.
Some children are visual thinkers, meaning they process information mainly through images using the right side of the brain. They make strong mental connections, but often struggle to express these in words because their thoughts move faster than their ability to explain them. Since schools are largely designed for linguistic learners, visual thinkers can face challenges—especially with reading comprehension, spelling, or word problems. Kirsten, a certified I Learn Differently coach, provides customized support by identifying each child’s learning style, strengths, and needs. Through small adjustments and collaboration with parents and teachers, visual thinkers can receive the help they need to thrive.
A child may struggle with reading, spelling, or verbal explanations, yet show strong imagination and creativity. They may also be highly sensitive, either withdrawing or showing expressive behavior when overwhelmed.
Each child is assessed to understand how they learn, what’s going well, and where support is needed. Based on this, Kirsten offers personalized guidance and shares strategies with parents and teachers to better support the child’s learning style.

Every family is different. 808 Endurance creates a personalized plan that fits your specific needs and goals. Whether through home visits, classroom observations, or targeted guidance, support is always practical and focused on long-term growth and balance.
Teachers and group leaders are increasingly expected to meet the needs of more children with diverse challenges—often with less internal support. This can raise questions about group dynamics, learning difficulties, or the behavior of individual children. Sometimes the issue lies not in behavior itself, but in a child’s cognitive development, which can lead to frustration and acting out. 808 Endurance helps identify what each child needs to thrive—whether it’s building motivation for learning, supporting social development, or addressing challenges like inattention or disinterest in specific subjects. By creating positive change in group behavior, teaching and caregiving become more effective and enjoyable. Support is also available in day care centres and institutions.
Whether it’s a group that struggles to settle after outdoor play, takes too long to quiet down during lessons, or has trouble with social behavior like manners, 808 Endurance analyzes the underlying causes and offers practical steps to guide the group toward more positive behavior.
After an intake with the teacher or caregiver, 808 Endurance observes the group, collects data, and determines the function of certain behaviors. A tailored plan is then created and implemented together. By focusing on positive reinforcement and sharing knowledge with staff, sustainable change is achieved—and the joy in teaching and caregiving returns.
At 808 Endurance, we understand that learning difficulties aren’t always rooted in behavior or cognitive challenges—sometimes, the issue lies in how the eyes work together. Fixatie disparatie is a visual coordination problem where the eyes don’t align properly when focusing, even if vision is otherwise sharp. This can lead to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, blurred vision, or reading struggles. Through targeted screening for fixatie disparatie, 808 Endurance helps uncover these hidden challenges so that the right support or referrals can be given. Early detection can make a big difference in a child’s comfort, confidence, and academic progress.
If a child frequently loses their place while reading, avoids close-up tasks, complains of tired eyes or headaches, or has trouble focusing, screening may be beneficial. These subtle signs are often misinterpreted as attention issues or lack of motivation.
808 Endurance conducts a basic screening and, if signs are present, offers guidance and referral to vision specialists for further assessment. This ensures that every child gets the right support to thrive both in and outside the classroom.
At 808 Endurance, we recognize that every child learns differently—and that learning disabilities can impact not just academic performance, but also confidence and behavior. Whether a child struggles with reading, writing, math, or processing information, these challenges often require a tailored approach that schools alone may not be able to provide. 808 Endurance offers in-depth observation, screening, and support to identify the root of the difficulty and to help both the child and their environment adapt. By working closely with families, teachers, and professionals, we help unlock the child’s full potential through practical, personalized guidance.
Through careful observation, data collection, and collaboration with the child’s environment, 808 Endurance looks at both the symptoms and the context. We assess not just what the child struggles with, but also how they learn best—so that targeted support can follow.
808 Endurance creates customized plans to address specific challenges, whether in reading comprehension, spelling, math, or information processing. We work with educators and parents to implement small, effective steps that help the child progress with confidence and joy.
At 808 Endurance, psychosocial therapy focuses on helping children and families cope with emotional, behavioral, and social challenges that affect daily life. Whether it’s anxiety, low self-esteem, difficulties in relationships, or problems processing emotions, this form of support provides a safe and structured space to explore underlying issues. Therapy sessions are tailored to the child’s needs and may include play-based methods, conversation, and practical exercises. By working together with families and caregivers, 808 Endurance strengthens emotional resilience and supports healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and interacting.

808 Endurance combines therapeutic insight with a hands-on, child-centered approach. We not only support the child emotionally but also guide parents and teachers to create a consistent and supportive environment around the child.
