ABA Therapy Designed Around Your Family
At Social Connections, we believe therapy should be individualized, flexible, and accessible. We offer parent-mediated therapy, 1:1 ABA therapy, and social groups, with a variety of scheduling options to meet each learner and family's needs. What makes us different is our commitment to flexibility and family choice. We do not require a minimum number of weekly ABA hours or long-term contracts. We understand that every family has different circumstances, funding, schedules, and priorities, and we want quality support to be accessible and realistic.
While there is no minimum hour requirement, our clinical recommendations are individualized. Following an assessment, our clinical team will discuss the type and level of support we recommend based on your child's unique needs, allowing families to make informed decisions about what works best for them.
Our priority is providing high-quality, compassionate support to children and youth with autism and other developmental, behavioural, emotional, and social needs. A formal autism diagnosis is not required to access our services. ABA is an evidence-based approach that can support communication, social development, independence, adaptive skills, learning, and meaningful behaviour change across a wide range of learners.
Parent-Mediated Therapy
Following a similar model that is used by the other core clinical service providers such as Speech Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists, this model will provide ABA services once a week, and will include caregiver participation and home assignments. Work directly with your BCBA/RBA to learn ABA strategies to promote success in all environments.
1:1 ABA Therapy
Our 1:1 ABA therapy provides individualized, one-on-one support for learners who benefit from a more comprehensive approach to skill development and behaviour support. Therapy is tailored to each learner's unique strengths, needs, and goals and may address areas such as communication, social skills, emotional regulation, adaptive functioning, learning, and independence.
Following an individualized assessment, our clinical team will recommend the type and level of support that best meets your learner's needs. There is no minimum weekly hour requirement or long-term commitment — we work with families to create a plan that is both clinically appropriate and realistic for their circumstances.
Social Groups
Our specialized social groups give learners the opportunity to build and practice important everyday skills alongside peers in a supportive and engaging environment. Groups may focus on friendship and social skills, communication, emotional regulation, sportsmanship, independence, daily living skills, and academics, all while encouraging confidence, connection, and meaningful participation.
What is Included when you Join Social Connections
When you enrol your child in Social Connections you will receive a comprehensive package which includes a variety of ABA services. We ensure that you are provided with the highest quality therapy experience by offering the services that make a difference.
Behaviour Skills Assessment
Indirect and direct behaviour analytic assessments will be utilized to determine individualized programming goals for each learner. Assessments will be conducted by an ABA Therapist and verified by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst/Registered Behaviour Analyst. Families will receive a comprehensive assessment report outlining and graphically displaying the results of the assessment and programming that will be targeted during therapy.
Caregiver Consultation and Resources
A caregiver's involvement in ABA therapy is an essential part of treatment success as your child spends most of their time outside of the clinical environment. Caregivers will be provided with resources, homework packages and training opportunities to promote success with their child's development.
Discharge Report & Recommendations
Upon the completion of your child's therapy you will receive a comprehensive discharge report outlining the progress of skill acquisition and future recommendations to continue to support your child's development.
