ABA therapy, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a scientific approach focused on understanding how environment and behavior interact. We use this method to help children develop essential skills across various domains, including communication, social interaction, play, and adaptive behaviors. Our goal is not just to manage behaviors but to teach new, more effective ways of communicating, interacting, and coping, ultimately fostering independence and improving overall quality of life.
Our services at 1239 E 28th Ave are meticulously designed to be engaging and effective. We conduct thorough assessments to identify your child's unique profile, learning style, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists create highly individualized treatment plans. These plans outline specific, measurable goals and the strategies used to achieve them, focusing on reinforcing positive behaviors and teaching new skills in a supportive and motivating way.
We understand that every child learns differently and progresses at their own pace. Our therapists are trained to adapt their techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for each child they work with. We prioritize building strong rapport and trust with both the child and the family, making the therapy process collaborative and family-centered.
Whether your child is just beginning to understand the world or is working towards more complex skills, our dedicated team at Here on the Spectrum is focused on providing compassionate, high-quality ABA therapy right here in Vancouver. We are committed to being a supportive resource for families seeking effective interventions for autism spectrum disorder.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A1: Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how the environment influences a person's behavior. It involves analyzing behaviors, identifying the reasons behind them, and using positive reinforcement to teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors. It's a widely recognized and evidence-based treatment for autism spectrum disorder.
Q2: How is ABA therapy customized for my child?
A2: At Here on the Spectrum, we begin with a comprehensive assessment of your child. This helps us understand their unique strengths, challenges, interests, and learning style. Based on this assessment, our therapists develop a highly individualized treatment plan with specific, measurable goals tailored just for your child. The plan is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure it remains effective and relevant.
Q3: What happens during an initial evaluation?
A3: Our first step is usually a parent consultation to understand your child's history, concerns, and goals. We may then conduct observations of your child in different settings (like home or school if applicable) and administer standardized assessments. This information helps us create a detailed profile to inform the development of the child's personalized ABA treatment plan.
Q4: How long are the therapy sessions?
A4: Session durations can vary depending on the child's age, attention span, and specific goals. Typically, sessions range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Our therapists will discuss the recommended session length and frequency based on your child's individual needs during the assessment phase.
Q5: What outcomes can ABA therapy help achieve?
A5: ABA therapy is designed to help children develop a wide range of skills. Potential outcomes include improved communication (verbal and non-verbal), increased social interaction skills, learning new play and leisure skills, reduction in challenging behaviors, development of self-care skills (like dressing and grooming), and increased independence in daily routines. The specific outcomes will depend on your child's unique needs and goals.
