Here on the Spectrum: ABA Therapy Service Vancouver
Located at 1239 E 28th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5V 2P8, Here on the Spectrum offers dedicated Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy services tailored for children navigating the complexities of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our mission is simple yet profound: to guide your child towards greater success, enhanced communication skills, increased independence, and ultimately, a happier, more fulfilling life.
ABA therapy is a scientifically validated approach focused on understanding how environment and behavior interact. Our experienced therapists work collaboratively with your child, and importantly, with you as the parent or guardian, to identify specific goals. These goals are then broken down into smaller, manageable steps. Through positive reinforcement and carefully designed interventions, we help build desired skills while gently addressing challenging behaviors. Think of it as teaching your child new ways to communicate, interact socially, manage emotions, and perform daily living tasks with greater confidence.
At Here on the Spectrum, we believe in a highly individualized approach. Every child is unique, presenting with their own set of strengths and challenges. Therefore, our therapy programs are meticulously crafted to meet the specific needs, interests, and learning pace of each child. We conduct thorough assessments to understand your child's profile thoroughly before designing their program. This ensures that the interventions are relevant, effective, and motivating for them.
Our team at 1239 E 28th Ave is committed to providing compassionate, ethical, and evidence-based care. We prioritize building strong rapport with both children and families, creating a supportive and positive learning environment. We empower parents with strategies and techniques they can use consistently at home to reinforce progress and generalize skills learned during therapy sessions.
Whether your child is just beginning to show signs of ASD or has been receiving support for some time, our ABA services at Here on the Spectrum, located in Vancouver's V5V 2P8 neighbourhood, are designed to provide targeted support. We focus on building a foundation for lifelong success and happiness right here in our local community.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a scientific, evidence-based therapy used to understand how behavior is affected by the environment. It focuses on improving specific behaviors, such as social skills, communication abilities, reading, and adaptive learning skills, through positive reinforcement. ABA therapy helps individuals learn new skills and reduce behaviors that may interfere with their quality of life.
Q2: Is ABA Therapy only for children with autism?
A: While ABA therapy is most commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to its effectiveness in addressing core challenges like communication difficulties, social interaction deficits, and repetitive behaviors, its principles can be applied to help individuals with various behavioral challenges. Here on the Spectrum focuses primarily on ABA therapy for children with ASD.
Q3: How does the ABA therapy process work at Here on the Spectrum?
A: Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's unique needs, strengths, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan includes clearly defined goals, specific teaching strategies, and data collection methods to track progress. Therapy sessions are conducted at our center at 1239 E 28th Ave, and parents are actively involved in learning and implementing strategies at home.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the complexity of their needs, the goals set, and the family's capacity to participate. Some children may benefit from intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week) for a period, while others may require less intensive support over a longer timeframe. Progress is regularly reviewed, and the treatment plan is adjusted accordingly. Our focus is on sustainable progress and equipping your child with lifelong skills.
Q5: What can I expect during the first session?
A: The first session is typically an assessment session. Our therapist will meet with you and your child to gather information, observe interactions, and begin the assessment process. This helps us understand your child's current skills and challenges. We will discuss our findings and collaboratively develop the initial goals and treatment plan based on your priorities and your child's needs. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and become familiar with our approach and our center at 1239 E 28th Ave.
