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 Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services tailored specifically for children seeking support and guidance towards achieving greater success and happiness. Our approach is rooted in the principles of ABA, a scientifically validated therapy method widely recognized for its effectiveness in helping individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) develop essential skills and reduce challenging behaviors.
At Here on the Spectrum, we understand that every child is unique, presenting with their own set of strengths, challenges, and learning styles. Our team of experienced and compassionate therapists designs personalized treatment plans collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and the child themselves (where appropriate). These plans are meticulously crafted to address specific goals identified by the family, focusing on areas such as communication skills (verbal and non-verbal), social interaction, adaptive living skills (like daily routines, play, and self-care), and reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning or participation in daily activities.
The core of our therapy lies in breaking down complex skills into smaller, manageable steps. Through consistent, positive reinforcement and carefully planned interactions, children learn new behaviors and naturally extinguish unwanted ones. Our therapists are trained to create a supportive and encouraging environment, fostering a child's confidence and motivation throughout their therapeutic journey. We believe in celebrating small victories and maintaining a positive, patient approach.
Our commitment at Here on the Spectrum is to provide high-quality, individualized ABA therapy directly from our Vancouver location at 1239 E 28th Ave. We are dedicated to being a constant presence for families in the V5V 2P8 area, offering consistent support and measurable progress. We work closely with families to ensure they understand the therapy process and are equipped with strategies they can continue practicing at home, reinforcing the skills learned during sessions.

Based on this evaluation, our therapists create a personalized treatment plan outlining clear, measurable objectives and the strategies best suited to help your child achieve them.
3. What happens during an initial evaluation?
The initial evaluation involves a thorough assessment conducted by our qualified therapists. This may include direct observation of your child, interviews with parents and caregivers, and review of any relevant developmental history. The goal is to gather comprehensive information to design the most effective and tailored therapy program for your child's unique needs.
4. How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and the rate of progress.
