Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3, is dedicated to providing exceptional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children seeking support for autism spectrum disorder and related developmental challenges.
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 meaningful to them. We understand that every child is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and pathways to fulfillment. Our approach is rooted in the science of behavior analysis, but guided by a deep commitment to understanding the individual child and family.
ABA therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to improve socially significant behaviors. This includes skills crucial for daily living, learning, communication, and social interaction. Our therapists work collaboratively with children to build skills in areas such as:
Communication (verbal and non-verbal) Social Skills (interacting peers, understanding social cues) Behavior Management (reducing challenging behaviors) Academic Skills (preparing for school success) Independent Living Skills (self-care, following routines)Our process is tailored to each child's specific needs, strengths, and goals. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand the child fully. Based on this assessment, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design a personalized treatment plan. This plan outlines clear, measurable goals and the strategies used to achieve them. Therapists then implement these strategies consistently, reinforcing positive changes through positive reinforcement and data-driven techniques.
We believe that the journey of growth is most effective when the entire family is involved. We provide resources, training, and support to help parents and caregivers implement strategies at home, ensuring consistency and maximizing the therapy's impact. Our team is committed to being compassionate, patient, and dedicated partners on this important journey.
Whether you're looking for support in Vancouver's downtown core or exploring options from our New York, NY 10001 location (please verify current NYC operations), we are here to help your child unlock their potential and build a brighter future filled with confidence and joy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It involves analyzing a child's behavior, identifying the reasons behind it (the function), and then implementing strategies to increase desired behaviors (like communication or independent play) and decrease challenging behaviors (like tantrums or self-injury). ABA therapy is highly individualized and uses positive reinforcement to teach new skills and promote lasting change.
Q2: How does the ABA therapy process work?
The process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment conducted by a BCBA. This assessment involves observing the child, collecting data, and gathering information from parents/caregivers to understand the child's skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, the BCBA develops a personalized treatment plan outlining specific, measurable goals and the strategies to achieve them. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) then implements the plan under the supervision of the BCBA. Regular progress is monitored, and the treatment plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed.
Q3: What age range do you work with?
We primarily work with children from toddlers (typically around 2-3 years old) up to adolescents (around 18 years old). Early intervention is often most effective, but ABA therapy benefits individuals across this age range. The specific goals and techniques are adapted to the developmental level and unique needs of each child.
Q4: How does ABA therapy differ from other therapies?
ABA therapy is specifically focused on analyzing behavior and its environmental influences to bring about meaningful change. While other therapies (like speech therapy or occupational therapy) target specific areas (communication, motor skills), ABA looks at the overall behavior and how it impacts the child's functioning across different settings. ABA uses principles of reinforcement to teach skills and reduce challenging behaviors systematically and objectively.
