What is Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)?
ABA is a scientifically supported approach for supporting autistic individuals. Decades of research demonstrate ABA’s effectiveness, making it one of the most scientifically supported therapies for autism.
The Ontario Autism Program (OAP) core clinical services (CCS) are designed to offer children and youth on the autism spectrum access to evidence-informed ABA clinical services tailored to their unique strengths, needs, and goals. We provide a range of service intensities to ensure that each individual receives the support that best suits them. Our 1 to 1 sessions are ran by highly trained behaviour therapists are overseen by a Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA). If appropriate for your child, 1 to 1 sessions may include small group learning. We are committed to supporting your journey and enhancing the quality of life for individuals on the autism spectrum.
