At Here on the Spectrum, our dedicated team at the Downtown Vancouver centre (and our network including New York) is deeply committed to providing exceptional Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our core philosophy is simple yet powerful: our goal is to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them.
We understand that every child is unique, presenting with their own set of strengths and challenges. Our ABA therapy services are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to thoroughly understand your child's individual needs, preferences, and learning style. This foundational understanding allows us to craft a highly individualized treatment plan.
This personalized plan is the cornerstone of our approach. It focuses on implementing evidence-based behavioral interventions designed to teach valuable skills and reduce challenging behaviours. We target areas crucial for your child's development and quality of life, such as:
Communication Skills: Verbal and non-verbal expression, understanding language, building conversational skills. Social Skills: Interaction with peers, understanding social cues, play skills, perspective-taking. Independent Living Skills: Self-care routines, following instructions, managing belongings. Behavioural Adjustment: Reducing problematic behaviours that may interfere with learning, social interaction, or daily functioning.Our therapists are trained professionals who work collaboratively with you, the parent or caregiver, throughout the process. We believe your insights and involvement are invaluable. We provide regular feedback, progress reports, and training sessions to empower you, ensuring you are equipped to support your child's progress effectively at home and in the community.
Choosing Here on the Spectrum means choosing a partner invested in your child's journey towards reaching their full potential. We are dedicated to creating positive, lasting change through compassionate, individualized ABA therapy.

Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how environment influences behavior. It involves analyzing behaviors, identifying the reasons behind them (like seeking attention or avoiding a task), and using positive reinforcement to teach desired skills and reduce challenging behaviors. It's widely recognized as an effective treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities.
Q2: How does the assessment process work?
The assessment process typically begins with an initial consultation where our team discusses your child's history and concerns. This is followed by a comprehensive evaluation, which may include direct observation of your child, interviews with parents and caregivers, and standardized assessments. This thorough evaluation helps us create a detailed profile of your child's skills and needs, forming the basis for their personalized treatment plan.
Q3: Do you accept insurance?
We understand that navigating insurance can be complex. While we cannot bill directly to insurance providers, we provide detailed documentation and invoices that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your specific coverage for ABA therapy services before starting treatment.
Q4: What can I expect during the first session?
The first session usually involves an assessment component. Our therapist will meet with you and your child. They will gather information about your child's background, preferences, and challenges. There will likely be some direct interaction with your child to observe their skills and begin the assessment process. This session helps us understand your child's needs and sets the stage for developing their personalized treatment plan. We will discuss the findings and next steps afterward.
Q5: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the individual child's needs, goals, and progress. Treatment plans are dynamic and are reviewed regularly. Some children may require intensive therapy for a few years, while others may show significant progress and require less intensive support over a longer period. The focus is always on continuous progress and adapting the plan as needed. Our goal is to equip your child with lifelong skills.
