What is ABA Therapy? Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific approach focused on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment.

These goals are designed to enhance communication skills, social interaction, independence in daily living, and emotional regulation, ensuring progress is relevant and valued by the child and their family. Our focus is always on celebrating small victories and building skills that lead to a fulfilling life.
Whether your child needs assessment, therapy sessions, or consultation, our experienced team is here to provide the support you need. We believe in a partnership approach, keeping you informed and involved throughout the process. Finding the right support is crucial, and we are dedicated to being that supportive presence for your child's journey towards a brighter future.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA therapy, and how can it help my child?
ABA therapy is a scientifically validated treatment focused on improving behaviors of social significance. It helps children develop essential skills like communication, social interaction, academic performance, and daily living activities. By understanding the function of challenging behaviors and reinforcing desired alternatives, ABA therapy helps children learn new skills, reduce problematic behaviors, and ultimately achieve greater independence and happiness.
Q2: How do I get started with Here on the Spectrum ABA Therapy?
To begin, you can contact our office using the provided phone number, (778) 608-2398. Our team will guide you through the initial steps, which typically involve gathering information about your child's developmental history and needs. We will then schedule an initial assessment or consultation with one of our qualified Behaviour Analysts to determine if ABA therapy is appropriate and to discuss potential goals for therapy.
Q3: What does a typical ABA assessment or therapy session involve?
An initial assessment involves collecting detailed information about your child's skills, challenges, interests, and learning environment. A formal assessment might include standardized testing and direct observation. Therapy sessions are highly individualized. They are designed based on the assessment results and goals set with you. Sessions often focus on specific skills (e.g., requesting, following instructions, conversation skills, play skills) using techniques like discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, and positive reinforcement. The duration and frequency of sessions are tailored to your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically take?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, the complexity of the goals, and the family's commitment to the program. Progress is typically reviewed regularly, and goals are adjusted as needed. While some foundational skills might show progress within months, achieving comprehensive goals often requires a longer-term commitment, potentially spanning years. The focus is on sustainable progress and skill generalization.
Q5: What are the costs associated with ABA therapy, and does insurance cover it?
The cost of ABA therapy can vary based on factors like session length, frequency, and the specific services provided. We strive to be transparent about our fees. Regarding insurance, coverage for ABA therapy varies widely by plan and provider. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your plan's coverage details, including any requirements for out-of-pocket costs, pre-authorizations, or specific providers.
