Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3 and New York, NY 10081, is dedicated to providing exceptional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy tailored for individuals navigating the journey of autism spectrum disorder.
At ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, our core belief is simple yet profound: our goal is to guide your child towards success and happiness that is uniquely meaningful to them. We understand that each individual on the spectrum is different, possessing a unique set of strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Our approach is rooted in the science of ABA, but guided by a deep commitment to understanding the whole person.
ABA Therapy focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment and an individual's experiences. Through careful observation and assessment, our trained therapists work collaboratively with you and your child to develop personalized treatment plans. These plans are designed to build essential skills across various domains, including communication (verbal and non-verbal), social interaction, adaptive living skills (daily routines, self-care), and reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning, safety, or social integration.
We believe that success isn't about fitting into a mold, but about helping individuals reach their full potential in ways that bring them personal satisfaction. Our therapists are skilled in creating positive learning environments, using techniques that encourage skill acquisition and reinforce desired behaviors in natural settings. We focus on teaching skills that enhance independence, foster social connections, and promote overall well-being.
Choosing Here on the Spectrum means partnering with a team that listens, adapts, and supports your family's journey. We are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care delivered by experienced professionals who understand the complexities and celebrate the unique qualities of individuals on the autism spectrum. Our supportive team is dedicated to helping your child thrive and find happiness in their own way.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding how human behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on analyzing behavior and the factors that influence it, with the goal of improving social, communication, and learning skills. ABA therapy uses principles of behavior to teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors, always tailored to the individual's specific needs and goals.
Q2: How can ABA Therapy help my child?
A: ABA therapy can help children develop crucial skills that enhance their quality of life. This includes improving communication abilities (both receptive and expressive), developing social skills, learning self-care routines, managing challenging behaviors, and increasing independence in daily activities. The specific outcomes depend on the individual child's needs, goals, and the tailored treatment plan developed by our therapists.
Q3: What does an ABA therapy session involve?
A: ABA therapy sessions are highly individualized. They typically involve one-on-one interaction between the child and a trained therapist. Activities are designed to target specific goals identified in the child's treatment plan. These might include discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, play-based learning, and data collection to track progress. The duration and structure of sessions vary based on the child's age, attention span, and specific needs.
Q4: Is ABA therapy effective?
A: Yes, ABA therapy is widely recognized as the most effective evidence-based intervention for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Decades of research support its effectiveness in teaching new skills and reducing challenging behaviors. The effectiveness is significantly enhanced when ABA therapy is consistently implemented across different settings (home, school, community) and involves parent/caregiver training.
