Autism Behavioural Services (ABS) was founded in 2007 by Freya Hunter, M.Sc., a dedicated and passionate professional driven by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
Freya began offering ABA services privately from her home office in 2006. As demand grew, she opened her first centre-based location in Guelph, Ontario. After several successful years and supporting hundreds of families, Freya relocated the centre to Fergus, Ontario, to provide more accessible services to individuals in rural Wellington.
At ABS, we take pride in delivering professional, reliable, and evidence-based services to individuals with autism and their families. Our team is known for going above and beyond to meet the unique needs of each client and family.
We believe learning should be fun, and trust is the cornerstone of our client relationships. By combining evidence-based practices with engaging instructors who build genuine rapport with the families we support, we create an environment where individuals thrive and achieve meaningful outcomes.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that each child we support gains the skill set they require in order to grow with self-determination, self-worth, and independence.
As an organization, we will strive to teach our clients all that we can using Applied Behaviour Analysis, while maintaining the integrity of each individual and providing them with every possible learning opportunity they rightfully deserve.
