Focused Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Meaningful skills through
evidence-based treatment
Children attend our centre once or twice per week for 1 to 2 hours per treatment session. During these sessions, therapists work one to one with your child or in a small group with other children if social skills and peer relationships is a goal area. Sessions are brief, focused, often fast-paced and incorporate your child’s interests where possible. Data is collected and reviewed each session to measure the child’s progress and adjust our approaches as needed.
What’s on this page
Assessment process
Interview
A one-hour interview is conducted by a senior clinician with parents and caregivers to gather information about the child’s strengths, needs and areas of concern. This information is used to inform the direct assessment.
Direct
assessment
Your child will attend our centre for 2-3 sessions so our clinicians can observe the child’s behaviours and skills and to directly test areas of concern using a variety of assessment tools.
Individualized
service plan and
program
Information gathered from the interview, the direct assessment and any other assessment reports from other providers is reviewed and summarized to develop a specific plan to meet your child’s needs and your goals. These plans are generally reviewed and updated very 3-6 months.
Meeting to
review the plan
A meeting with the family as well as any other relevant people (e.g. school team, other providers) is held to review the plan to ensure that everyone is on board with what has been identified as priority goal areas as well as to ensure that there is support for the intervention approach.
