## Resource

This article and podcast episode explore how Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) principles can be understood through EYFS language and practice. Mikaela Green, clinical director of therapeutic services and principal of First Bridge School, shows how strategies such as breaking learning into small steps, celebrating success, and creating enabling environments align seamlessly with EYFS priorities. Drawing on research evidence and examples from First Bridge Education, Mikaela highlights how educators can use evidence-based approaches to motivate children, reduce barriers, and support inclusive learning.
