ABA Therapy
Professional ABA Therapy Services
Pay For The
Services Used
HTCC does not charge you for ‘packages’ because they are often over-priced and full of services that your child may not need. Instead, we charge the families for the services that your child uses. See our rates table below.
Step 1
We will contact you when a space is available.
Step 2
Your child will work with an Instructor Therapist and/or Registered Behaviour Technician to assess their baseline skills. This process can take up to 3 weeks, depending on your child. HTCC uses ABLLS-R/VBMAPP Assessments.
Step 3
Program Development
Your child’s Instructor Therapist will work with their Senior Therapists and, if needed, our BCBA to write your child’s individualized treatment program. This program will be presented to the caregivers before beginning the therapeutic process.
Step 4
After receiving your child’s assessment, your child will be placed in a 1/2 day or full day program. Children in 1/2 day programs can choose morning (8:30 – 12:30) or afternoon (12:30 – 4:30) sessions.
Step 5
Your child will be invited to join our social groups from 4:30 – 6:00 pm daily. During these groups, your child will learn social skills and be able to practice socially appropriate behaviours among other peers.
How We Teach
Programs are personalized intensive interventions utilizing the science-based Principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). We use curriculums that are built for teaching those with ASD.
Using techniques like Discrete Trial Training, Direct Instruction, Incidental Teaching, Errorless Teaching and Natural Environment Teaching we can teach a variety of skills such as:
- Communication skills – Receptive, Intraverbal and Expressive language
- Academic skills – Math, Reading, Writing
- Visual Performance skills
- Social Play and Leisure skills
- Fine and Gross Motor skills
- Routine and Life Skills
- Self Help skills – dressing, eating, grooming, toileting
- Behaviour Management Intervention (challenging behaviours)
Behaviour Management
Undesirable behaviours almost always come in the way of learning and socializing and limit them from performing at their full potential, either academically or socially. As well as behaviours that are self-injurious or cause harm to others. The first step, after ensuring that the child, those around him and the environment are safe, is to determine the function of the behaviour. By analyzing the function of the behaviour, we are able to implement strategies to modify/eradicate undesirable behaviour and increase desired behaviour.
This service includes parent/family training and/or 1:1 coaching. If your child’s challenging behaviours are interfering with your family, school, or social life – we can help. Our services are not limited to children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Assessment & Supervision
The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS)
is a comprehensive skills-based system of assessment, curriculum, and tracking system that addresses the basic language and functional skills of an individual with autism and other developmental delays. We use this as a guide to assess, plan and implement programs to teach the skills required by that individual. This process is supervised by a Senior Therapist and a Clinical Director (BCBA) to ensure the programs are a good fit and the child is making progress. If this is not the case, the program will be revised.
BCBA Consultation/Program Supervision
is provided on-site or by remote access, with all recommendations written up and provided. This service is provided on an as-needed basis for parent/caregiver-driven programs. We also collaborate with auxiliary service providers such as Speech Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, or Schools as requested and necessary.
HTCC Specializes in:
- Improving problem behaviours that interfere with family life, school learning and socializing.
- Relationship-building and language-based play activities, teach children vital social skills required to communicate and cooperate with others.
- Errorless Teaching techniques set children up for success and promote healthy and positive self-esteem.
- Natural Environment Teaching techniques generalize learned skills and behaviours.
