Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3 and New York, NY 10001, is dedicated to providing exceptional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services. Our mission at ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting is clear: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them. We understand that every child is unique, and therefore, every path to success should be tailored specifically to their individual needs, strengths, and interests.
What is ABA Therapy? Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is affected by the environment. Our therapists use ABA principles to identify the factors that influence challenging behaviors and to develop strategies that promote positive behaviors. The goal is always to enhance a child's quality of life, improve communication, social skills, learning abilities, and independence in daily living tasks.
Our ABA therapy services are designed to be comprehensive and individualized. We begin with a thorough assessment to understand the child's current skill levels and challenges. Based on this assessment, our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design a personalized treatment plan with specific, measurable goals. These goals are focused on areas such as:
Communication Skills (verbal and non-verbal) Social Skills (interacting with peers and adults) Academic Skills (reading, writing, math) Independent Living Skills (self-care, play, routines) Behavior Reduction (addressing challenging behaviors)Our approach is collaborative. We work closely with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other professionals involved in the child's life to ensure consistency and generalization of skills across different settings. We believe that progress is best achieved through a team effort.
Located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, we are easily accessible and committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care. Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to making the therapy process engaging and effective for children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA therapy used for?
A: ABA therapy is primarily used to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. It helps improve core skills such as communication, social interaction, behavior, and learning. ABA therapy can also be beneficial for children with ADHD, anxiety, and other behavioral challenges. The specific goals are tailored to the individual child's needs.
Q2: How does the ABA therapy process work?
A: The process typically begins with an initial assessment or consultation. Our BCBAs conduct a comprehensive evaluation to understand the child's skills and challenges. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan is developed with measurable goals. Therapy sessions are then implemented according to the plan, often involving discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, and other evidence-based techniques. Regular progress reports and parent training are integral parts of the process.
Q3: How long does ABA therapy typically take?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, the complexity of their needs, the goals set, and the frequency of sessions. Some children may show progress within a few months, while others may require years of consistent therapy. Treatment plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted based on progress. Many children benefit from ongoing therapy to maintain skills and continue development.
Q4: What should I expect during an ABA therapy session?
A: ABA therapy sessions are tailored to the child's specific plan. Generally, sessions are structured and engaging, incorporating play-based activities and naturalistic teaching methods. Therapists use positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and skills. The environment is designed to be supportive and motivating for the child. Parents are often involved in the process through training and feedback.
Q5: Does ABA therapy accept insurance?
A: Insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies widely among providers and plans. We work with families to understand their insurance benefits and can provide the necessary documentation for potential reimbursement. While we cannot guarantee coverage, we are committed to helping families navigate the process. Direct payment services are also available.
