What is Intensive ABA therapy?
Intensive ABA therapy treatment is 6+ hours and/or a minimum of 3 scheduled appointments per week. Treatment is primarily provided at a 1:1 - child to therapist - ratio, with daily opportunities for interaction and play with peers.
Children will be taught essential skills and the management of challenging behaviours, working across several developmental domains, including:
• Language
• Communication
• Play
• Social interactions
• Personal hygiene
• Toileting
• School-readiness
Who is eligible?
Intensive ABA therapy is available for children/youth, age birth to 12 years, with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. A screening process will be applied to confirm eligibility for this program, including registration with the Ontario Autism Program (OAP).
