Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3 and also serving clients in New York, NY 10001, is dedicated to providing exceptional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our mission, as embodied by ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, is clear: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is uniquely meaningful to them.
ABA therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment focused on improving socially significant behaviors. This includes communication skills, learning abilities, social interactions, and adaptive life skills. Our therapists work collaboratively with children, parents, and caregivers to understand individual needs and goals.
At Here on the Spectrum, we believe in a personalized approach. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) conduct thorough assessments to create tailored treatment plans. These plans are designed specifically to address your child's unique challenges and build upon their strengths.
Our comprehensive ABA services include:
- Behavioral Assessment: Initial evaluations to understand your child's current skills and challenges.
- Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP) Development: Collaboratively created goals based on assessment results and family priorities.
- Direct Therapy Sessions: One-on-one interventions delivered in various settings (in-home, center-based, school-linked) to teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors.
- Parent Training & Consultation: Empowering parents with strategies and techniques to support their child's progress consistently outside of formal sessions.
- Data Collection & Monitoring: Using objective data to track progress and continuously refine treatment strategies.
We are committed to creating a supportive and positive learning environment. Our therapists are trained professionals who focus on reinforcing positive behaviors and building skills that will help your child thrive. Whether your child is in Downtown Vancouver or New York, we strive to provide accessible, high-quality ABA therapy that fosters growth, communication, and independence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on identifying the factors that trigger behaviors and the consequences that follow them. ABA therapy uses techniques to increase desirable behaviors (like communication, social skills, and task completion) and decrease challenging behaviors (like aggression, self-injury, or tantrums) by reinforcing positive changes through systematic and data-driven methods.
Q2: How does ABA Therapy work?
ABA therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment conducted by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This assessment involves observing the child, collecting data, and interviewing parents/caregivers to understand the child's needs and goals. Based on this assessment, the BCBA develops an Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP). This plan outlines specific, measurable goals and the strategies to achieve them. ABA therapists then implement these strategies through direct teaching, positive reinforcement, prompting, and shaping techniques during therapy sessions. Progress is meticulously tracked and used to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Q3: Is ABA Therapy effective?
Absolutely. ABA therapy is widely recognized as the gold standard treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. Decades of rigorous research demonstrate its effectiveness in improving core symptoms of autism, reducing problematic behaviors, and teaching crucial life skills that enhance independence and quality of life. The effectiveness stems from its focus on measurable outcomes, individualization, and the use of positive reinforcement.
Q4: What ages do you work with?
ABA therapy is beneficial for individuals across the lifespan. At Here on the Spectrum, we primarily focus on children and adolescents, typically from early intervention age (around 2-3 years old) through to teenagers. However, our principles and techniques can be adapted for older individuals as well, depending on their specific needs and goals.
Q5: How do I get started with ABA Therapy?
