Focused ABA targets one or two behavioural goals at a time as compared to comprehensive ABA treatment program which targets a wider variety of goals. To begin, you will virtually meet with our BCBA who will help develop programming based on identified goals (joint attention, transitions, communication, self-help skills, play skills, etc.). Over an agreed upon period, our ABA therapists will work 1:1 with your child to help achieve the identified goals. Parents will also have the opportunity to be involved in sessions or BCBA coaching to help generalize learning to the home environment.

Program Format: Initial virtual consult and plan development with a Behaviour Analyst with 60 hours total weekly intervention with an ABA Therapist at the centre to be used as per need of child.

Children learn to become their own personal superheroes by recognizing social obstacles. First, as “social detectives” they recognize social cues in their environment. Then, as “superheroes” they work on being flexible thinkers and increase self-regulation skills in a fun interactive way.

Consult with OT and SLP about struggles your child may be having. Together, we can help your child regulate and help you engage your child, so you can play and increase social communication and language. As professionals we collaboratively address interrelated skills and treat the whole child.

Attend a workshop with our BCBA providing strategies on helping your child develop healthy sleep habits. Parents can ask questions and discuss concerns specific to their child. Afterwards, families have 2 follow up zoom calls with our BCBA to further personalize the program.

Following brief assessment of language and play skills, child-parent dyads participate in 20 programming sessions of up to 1-hour (2 times weekly) based upon both naturalistic developmental (JASPER) and ABA principles. Sessions will increase child play and language skills, as well as caregiver confidence in teaching their child new skills. This session will be offered in partnership with Roots and Wings Psychology

Adolescence can be a confusing and stressful time for both children and families as parents try to introduce key concepts of human development. As children struggle to understand the rapid changes they are experiencing, it may feel discomforting for children to openly ask questions to parents.  From bodily changes, hormonal changes, and new hygiene habits it can be overwhelming for children with ASD to grasp all that is encompassed during puberty. The focus of this group is to break down this complex period in human development and inform children of the normal stages of development they will experience. Sessions will focus on the following aspects: biological, psychological, social, behavioral, and new hygiene routines. Concepts will be broken down and taught with clear, concise and engaging teaching materials. Lessons will also be accompanied with visual aids and social stories for the home environment. There will be a strong emphasis to create a safe space where children feel comfortable to ask questions or discuss challenges they are experiencing. Should your child feel shy in a group setting they will also have the opportunity to chat 1:1 with the instructor. If caregivers require certain topics to be discussed or omitted, they can reach out by email .

Topics covered:
Week 1: Introduction to body parts and functions
Week 2: Changes in body parts during puberty
Week 3: Healthy hygiene habits
Week 4: Moods and feelings
Week 5: Discriminating between public and private behaviours (teaching socially appropriate behaviours versus private behaviours)
