Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the cornerstone of our practice. This evidence-based approach focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment and teaches new skills while reducing challenging behaviors. Our therapists are highly trained professionals who design personalized treatment plans tailored specifically to the individual needs, goals, and interests of each child. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, we create a roadmap for growth that is collaborative and respectful.
Our comprehensive services typically encompass a wide range of areas crucial for development and quality of life:
Core Skill Development: We target essential skills like communication (verbal and non-verbal), social interaction, play skills, and daily living skills. Behavior Reduction: We work effectively and compassionately to decrease behaviors that may interfere with learning, safety, or social integration.Academic Support: We can assist with foundational literacy and numeracy skills, as well as strategies to support school success.
Transition Support: We help children navigate the challenges of transitions between routines, environments, and activities.
We pride ourselves on creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Our therapists build strong rapport with children, making the learning process engaging and effective. Progress is celebrated, and goals are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain relevant and achievable.
Choosing Here on the Spectrum means choosing a partner invested in your child's journey. We work closely with families, providing regular feedback and involving parents/caregivers as key members of the support team.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How long does ABA therapy typically last for a child?
A: The duration of ABA therapy is highly individualized and depends on the child's specific needs, goals, progress, and family circumstances. Many children benefit from intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week) during critical developmental windows, often for a period ranging from 1 to 3 years. However, therapy can be shorter, longer, or even lifelong at a reduced intensity for some individuals. Progress is regularly assessed, and the treatment plan is adjusted accordingly. The focus is on sustainable gains and maintaining progress.
Q2: What is the cost of ABA therapy, and do you accept insurance?
A: The cost of ABA therapy can vary based on factors like the intensity of services, the child's age, and the specific requirements of the treatment plan. We strive to be transparent about our fees. While we do not directly bill insurance companies, many insurance plans (including some government programs like MSP in BC) offer partial reimbursement for ABA services. We provide detailed invoices and documentation to facilitate the claims process with your insurance provider. It's best to contact our office directly for a detailed discussion about costs and insurance options specific to your situation.
Q3: How do I know if my child needs ABA therapy?
A: ABA therapy can be beneficial for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental challenges, but its effectiveness isn't limited to this population. If your child is experiencing challenges with communication, social interaction, behavior regulation, learning new skills, or adapting to changes, ABA therapy could be a valuable resource. Early intervention is often most effective, but ABA benefits individuals of all ages. We recommend scheduling a consultation with our team. We can discuss your child's developmental history, current challenges, and goals to determine if ABA therapy is an appropriate next step.
Q4: What does the initial assessment process involve?
A: The initial assessment process typically begins with a conversation with our assessment team. They will gather information about your child's developmental history, current skills, challenges, and your family's goals. This may involve structured assessments, observations of your child, and input from parents/caregivers and sometimes teachers. The assessment aims to create a comprehensive picture to inform the development of a personalized ABA treatment plan. Our team will discuss the assessment findings and the proposed plan with you.
Q5: How do I get started with Here on the Spectrum?
A: Getting started is simple. You can contact us by phone at (778) 608-2398 or visit our website https://aba-therapy.ca/. A member of our team will guide you through the process. This usually involves an initial consultation to discuss your concerns, your child's needs, and answer any questions you may have. Following the consultation, if ABA therapy is deemed appropriate, we will work with you to schedule the first assessment session and finalize the details of the treatment plan and scheduling.
