1:1 ABA might be for you if:

  • You are looking for customized, intensive 1:1 therapy for your child (6-20 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

The Process

After learning a bit about you and your child, we bring together a team to support you. This team will consist of a Registered Behaviour Analyst and Supervised Instructor Therapists. The Supervised Instructor Therapists will complete your child’s assessment. This allows them to assess while simultaneously building a relationship with your child. Each of our clinicians is focused on building kind, supportive relationships, and we start this from the very beginning.  

After your child’s assessment is complete, your Registered Behaviour Analyst builds a program for your child based on the information and the goals you’ve shared with our team. They will then meet with you to review the assessment and proposed plan, and together you will tweak anything that needs tweaking and we get started on implementation.  

The Registered Behaviour Analyst monitors your child’s progress, modifying programs to support their needs and adding in new programming as goals are met. We complete the assessment process every 6 months or so, depending on the number of hours and the speed at which progress is made and new goals are required.
