Individualized1:1 ABA
Who is this service for?
One-on-one ABA therapy provides individualized support to help learners build meaningful skills that promote independence and success in everyday life. Our services are available for learners of all ages, from early childhood through adulthood.
What does one-on-one ABA therapy look like?
Every therapy session is individualized to the learner's goals, strengths, and interests. Sessions may include play-based learning, structured teaching, natural environment teaching, community outings, or daily living activities depending on the learner's needs and age.
Collaborative Care
We believe the best outcomes are achieved through collaboration. With your consent, our team works closely with parents, school teams, speech-language pathologists(SLPs), occupational therapists (OTs), psychologists, and other professionals involved in your child's care. By working together, we can promote consistency across environments and support meaningful progress toward shared goals.
This service may be beneficial if your learner:
Has delays in communication or social skills.
Is struggling to meet developmental or academic expectations.
Has difficulty with attention, following directions, or completing tasks independently.
Needs support learning self-care or daily living skills.
Displays behaviours that interfere with learning, relationships, or everyday activities at school, home or in the community
Would benefit from individualized teaching to build independence and confidence.
Struggling to keep up with age/grade level expectations
How are goals chosen?
Goals are developed collaboratively with families following an assessment. We consider your child's strengths, areas of need, and your family's priorities to create a personalized plan.
What are the benefits?
Our goal is to help learners become more independent, confident, and successful in their daily lives by teaching practical skills that improve participation at home, school, work, and in the community.
What approach do you use?
We use evidence-based, individualized, and compassionate teaching strategies that focus on building meaningful skills while respecting each learner's unique strengths, preferences, and communication style.
Session Length
Meaningful learning takes time. Sessions are designed to be engaging, interactive, and individualized, not hours of sitting at a table.
Therapists use play, movement, daily routines, and motivating activities to build a strong relationship with each learner while teaching important skills. Longer sessions provide opportunities to work on multiple goals, practice skills through repetition, and teach the learner in functional ways. The pace and structure of each session are always tailored to the learner's age, strengths, and individual needs.
Difference between 1:1 sessions and Focused ABA sessions
Both One-on-One ABA and Focused ABA provide individualized therapy tailored to each learner's unique strengths, needs, and goals. The primary difference is the focus of treatment and the intensity of support.
One-on-One ABA is typically recommended for learners who are building foundational skills across multiple developmental areas. Sessions are often longer (3–4 hours) to allow time to work on a broader range of goals, such as communication, social skills, daily living skills, behaviour reduction, and learning readiness.
Focused ABA is designed for learners who have more specific or targeted goals. These sessions are typically 1.5–2 hours and may focus on areas such as social skills, executive functioning, emotional regulation, psychological flexibility, independence, or advanced life skills.
The most appropriate service is determined collaboratively based on each learner's individual strengths, needs, and treatment goals. As learners grow and develop new skills, their therapy recommendations may change over time.
