Parent Mediated Therapy

At Social Connections ABA Therapy, we recognize the challenges families face due to limited funding for Applied Behavior Analysis Services. No caregiver should have to choose between effective therapy for your child and affording everyday expenses. As government funding may not be accessible to all who need it, we are adapting our ABA therapy approach at Social Connections to ensure that affordable and effective services are available to everyone.

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.

How It Works

Each session is one hour in length and will take place in-centre or virtually depending on the needs of the learner and family. The session will include your child working directly with the BCBA, BCaBA, or BCBA-supervised ABA clinician, caregiver coaching using behaviour skills training (an evidenced based strategy) and home assignments to ensure the learner is provided adequate practice to learn the targeted skill(s).
