Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3 and our New York, NY location at 10001, is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children and individuals seeking support for autism spectrum disorder and related developmental challenges.
At ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, our core philosophy is rooted in understanding that every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and path to success. Our goal is to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them. We believe that ABA therapy, when tailored thoughtfully, can be a powerful tool to help children develop essential skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and build confidence.
We achieve this by creating individualized treatment plans developed collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and the child themselves (where appropriate). Our experienced therapists employ evidence-based techniques within a supportive and engaging environment. We focus not just on measurable outcomes, but on fostering skills that enhance communication, social interaction, independence, and overall well-being, ensuring the strategies resonate with the child's natural inclinations and lead to a fulfilling life.
Whether your child is navigating early developmental milestones, seeking to improve social skills, manage sensory sensitivities, or build greater independence in daily living activities, our dedicated team is committed to partnering with you on this journey. We provide structured therapy sessions designed to be engaging and effective, empowering children to reach their full potential.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy, and how can it help my child?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Therapy is a scientifically validated approach that focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. We identify the reasons behind specific behaviors and then develop strategies to teach desired skills and naturally reduce challenging ones. ABA therapy can help children develop crucial skills in areas like communication (verbal and non-verbal), social interaction, academic performance, play skills, and daily living activities (like dressing or grooming). It can also help manage behaviors that interfere with learning or daily life, leading to greater independence and improved quality of life for both the child and the family.
Q2: How do I know if my child is a good candidate for ABA Therapy?
A child can benefit from ABA therapy for a wide range of needs, particularly those related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but also other developmental delays or behavioral challenges. If your child is experiencing difficulties with communication, social skills, learning, managing emotions or behaviors, or developing independence, ABA therapy could be beneficial. The most effective approach is always tailored to the individual child's specific needs and goals. We recommend scheduling a consultation with our team to discuss your child's profile and determine if ABA therapy aligns with their requirements.
Q3: What does the evaluation or assessment process involve?
Our process typically begins with an intake session. A therapist will meet with you and your child to understand their history, current challenges, strengths, and goals. This might involve developmental assessments, preference assessments, and direct observation of the child. Based on this information, we develop a comprehensive understanding of the child's needs and create a personalized ABA treatment plan collaboratively with you. This plan outlines specific, measurable goals and the strategies we will use to achieve them.
Q4: Are your services covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the provider, plan details, and the child's diagnosis (e.g., ASD). We work with families to understand their specific insurance benefits, including deductible requirements, copay amounts, and coverage limits for therapy services. While we cannot guarantee approval, we provide the necessary documentation and support to help families navigate the insurance claim process. We also strive to offer flexible payment options to accommodate different family needs.
Q5: How are treatment plans customized, and how often are they reviewed?
Every ABA treatment plan is custom-designed for each child. We conduct a thorough assessment to identify the child's unique needs, challenges, and goals. The plan outlines specific objectives, the teaching strategies to be used, data collection methods, and how progress will be measured. Importantly, treatment plans are dynamic and reviewed regularly (typically quarterly) with the family. This ensures the plan remains relevant, effective, and aligned with the child's evolving needs and progress, allowing for adjustments as necessary.
