Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to real situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. ABA treatment is individualized to meet the unique needs of your child/youth, focusing on desired behaviour with awareness of emotional and environmental influences. Can ABA Help? YES! ABA therapy when supervised by a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) helps to increase functional appropriate behavior and decreases challenging behavior. Why Lansdowne? Lansdowne Children's Centre has been a trusted provider of Autism Services for children and youth with Autism in Brantford and Brant County since 2004. We have provided Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services throughout this time including Intensive Behaviour Intervention (IBI), ABA Supports and Services, groups, workshops and parent training. Our caring staff get to know our children and families well, and learn how to best suit their needs. Our Family-Centered principles guide our relationship working with children, parents and caregivers in collaboration. We also have access to other specialist Lansdowne team members should you have questions or needs outside of Autism Services. What is a Family Support Worker? Our Family Support Workers (FSW) are here to help children, youth and their families’ access appropriate Autism services and supports quickly and easily. Our FSW team can help you with: Registering for the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) and Access OAP Completing and submitting funding applications Service coordination to meet your family needs Answer any other questions you might have about Autism srvices and Lansdowne Children's Centre You can reach our Family Support Workers by phone at 1-800-454-7186 (local 519-753-3153) extension 268, or by email at autism@lansdownecc.com Fee-for-Service and Foundational Family Services, what's the difference? Fee-for-Service programs and services require a client payment for access to the program or service, similar to pay-to-play recreation programs like music lessons, youth sports and art classes. We are happy to help you discover available funding programs to offset your Fee-for-Service costs. The Ontario Autism Program (OAP) is an example of a provincial government program requiring registration, application and approval to access funds. Additional funding resources include grants, scholarships, bursaries and sponsorships. Foundational Family Services are no-cost to the client family. They are publicly funded programs and services, accessible to all clients meeting the need criteria for the service or program. Free Foundational Family Services begin with a no-charge intake consultation to learn more about you and your child, and your family's needs. We are happy to make recommendations for programs and assistance to best-serve your unique needs. What is the Caregiver-Mediated Early Years Program? Autism Services Caregiver-Mediated Early Years programs are FREE of charge, part of our Foundational Family Services, and teach families strategies that may help their young children learn new skills and meet individual goals. These play-based and child-led programs are for young children, ages 12 months to 48 months (1 - 4 years), and aim to build caregivers’ capacity to support their child’s skill development. A program is available for a period of up to six-months per child. How long is your waitlist? The time between your initial intake consultation and your first program or service experience varies, depending on the program or service you are seeking. We do not have a standard expectation for wait time. We do have excellent resource consultants that are happy to help you navigate waittimes by recommending alternative action plans to fill your time. These alternatives may include one, or a mix of suggestions, including virtual care, streaming webinars for at-home actions, or alternate program paths with available capacity.
