In the heart of Vancouver, Here on the Spectrum, through its dedicated ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, stands as a beacon of support for families navigating the journey of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our mission is clear and deeply rooted in compassion: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is truly meaningful to them.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a scientifically validated approach focused on understanding and improving behavioral patterns.

Our therapists are highly trained professionals who work collaboratively with your child and your family.
We believe that every child is unique, possessing distinct strengths, challenges, and goals. Therefore, our ABA programs are not one-size-fits-all. Instead, we create personalized treatment plans tailored specifically to your child's needs, interests, and learning style. These plans are designed to build skills across various domains, including:
Communication: Verbal and non-verbal skills, language development, social communication. Behavior: Reducing problematic behaviors and teaching alternative, appropriate responses. Learning and Academics: Improving focus, task completion, and learning efficiency. Social Skills: Interaction, play skills, understanding social cues, and building friendships. Independent Living: Daily routines, self-care, and environmental adaptation.Our supportive and nurturing environment is crucial for effective learning. We focus on positive reinforcement, celebrating effort and progress, no matter how small. We empower parents and caregivers by providing education, training, and ongoing support, ensuring you are active partners in your child's journey.
Choosing Here on the Spectrum means choosing a dedicated team committed to making a positive, lasting impact on your child's life. We are here to provide expert guidance, personalized care, and unwavering support as you work together towards achieving meaningful success and happiness for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What exactly is ABA therapy, and how can it help my child?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a methodical approach based on learning principles. It focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment and uses positive reinforcement to increase desired behaviors and decrease challenging ones. It helps children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental challenges by teaching new skills (like communication, social interaction, academics) and reducing behaviors that interfere with learning, daily activities, and quality of life. The goal is always to improve your child's overall functioning and well-being.
Q2: How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, goals, and the family's objectives. Some children may benefit from intensive therapy (e.g., 20-40 hours per week) for a period, while others might require less intensive support over a longer timeframe. Treatment plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted based on progress. Many children show substantial gains within the first year or two of consistent therapy, but long-term support can be beneficial for continued growth and skill maintenance.
Q3: Is ABA therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage for ABA therapy varies widely among insurance plans, including government programs like MSP (Medical Services Plan) in British Columbia, depending on the specific circumstances and the child's diagnosis. Some private insurance plans also offer coverage. Here on the Spectrum can provide documentation and information to help families navigate insurance claims. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your plan's coverage details for ABA services.
Q4: What should I expect during the initial assessment?
The initial assessment is a collaborative process. It typically involves a meeting with our assessment team to discuss your child's history, developmental milestones, current challenges, and goals. The therapist will observe your child interacting and may conduct standardized assessments or gather information through questionnaires completed by parents and sometimes teachers. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand your child's unique profile and develop an effective, personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and objectives.
