Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) Services

Autism Behavioural Services (ABS) provides 1:1 and small group Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services tailored to each learner’s unique needs. Using the science of behaviour, we teach in ways that align with how each learner learns best.

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to develop individualized programs that focus on meaningful goals for both the learner and their family. Our programs aim to build essential skills while also addressing challenging or unsafe behaviours when needed.

Therapy sessions are delivered by qualified and supervised Instructor Therapists under the guidance of Registered Behaviour Analysts (ONT) and Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA®). Parents play a vital role in selecting and shaping program goals, ensuring that interventions align with their family’s priorities.

ABS is proud to provide services supervised by an approved supervisor under the Ontario Autism Program (OAP). ABA programs address goals across multiple developmental domains, offering individualized support that evolves with the learner.

Examples of skills addressed through ABA services:

  • School/classroom readiness skills
  • Communication skills
  • Social skills
  • Play skills
  • Academic skills (Direct Instruction)
