Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Service Vancouver
Located at 1239 E 28th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5V 2P8, Here on the Spectrum is dedicated to providing exceptional Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy services tailored specifically for children and adolescents in our community. Our mission is simple yet profound: to guide your child towards greater success, happiness, and overall well-being through evidence-based interventions delivered with compassion and expertise right here in Vancouver.
What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how human behaviour is learned. We believe behaviour is communication and is influenced by its consequences. Our therapists use ABA principles to identify the function or purpose behind specific behaviours and then develop individualized strategies to teach new, more appropriate skills and reduce challenging behaviours.
How ABA Therapy Helps Children
ABA therapy is particularly effective for children and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but its principles can be beneficial for anyone seeking to improve specific skills or modify behaviours. At Here on the Spectrum, our focus is on helping children develop crucial life skills such as:
Communication Skills: Verbal and non-verbal expression, understanding language, requesting items, conversational skills. Social Skills: Interacting appropriately with peers and adults, understanding social cues, sharing, taking turns. Independent Living Skills: Self-care tasks like dressing, grooming, and feeding. Academic Skills: Following instructions, learning reading, writing, and math concepts. Behavioural Management: Reducing problematic behaviours like aggression, self-injury, tantrums, and teaching replacement behaviours.Our approach is highly individualized. Every child we work with has a unique profile, strengths, and challenges. Therefore, we create a personalized treatment plan in collaboration with you, the parents or guardians, based on a comprehensive assessment. This plan outlines clear, measurable goals and the strategies we will use to achieve them.
