Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA/IBI)
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is typically the recommended treatment for children with autism but can also be used successfully with learners of varying abilities and diagnoses.
ABA is fun, highly customized to each learner’s needs, skills, and interests, and is backed by research. The focus of most comprehensive ABA programs, includes a mix of communication, social, life, and academic skills as determined by the family and professional team. Therapy is driven by data, and all progress is monitored and analyzed to ensure that your child is getting the most out of therapy.
We do all in-clinic ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) therapy. All sessions are 1:1 with a Supervised Instructor Therapist, including assessment and supervision from one of our BCBA/RBA staff. Please message info@bitkids.ca for our hourly rate (subject to annual review). Most sessions are at least 3 hours long, but that depends on the child's needs. We recommend at least 2 sessions a week. There are many group opportunities throughout our 1:1 sessions to work on social, play and classroom skills.
We are open between 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Generally, we run morning sessions between 8-12 or afternoon sessions between 1-5.
ABA might be for you if:
- You are looking for customized, intensive 1:1 therapy for your child (10-40 hours per week)
- You want to teach your child an array of skills (communication, social, academic, life)
- Your child is struggling with a variety of skills that his or her peers seem to have learned easily
