Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Therapy
ABA therapy is one of the most researched and effective approaches for supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Rooted in the principles pioneered by Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas, ABA focuses on building meaningful skills while reducing behaviours that may interfere with your child’s daily life.
Our clinical team develops a comprehensive individualized treatment plan — because no two children are the same, and no two programs should be either. ABA can support development across a wide range of areas including:
Communication and language
Social skills and play
Self-care and daily living
Academic readiness
Behaviour and self-regulation
Treatment is delivered in a one-to-one setting and uses positive reinforcement to encourage skill-building. As your child progresses, therapy expands into new environments to support generalization of skills into everyday life.

Built Around Your Child
ABA isn't one-size-fits-all. Every program is individualized — targeting the specific skills your child needs most, whether that's communication, daily routines, social interaction, or behaviour management.

Session Structure
ABA therapy builds skills through structured activities and real-life practice. A therapist guides every session using positive reinforcement — so learning feels natural and progress is measurable.

Family Benefits
ABA doesn't stop when the session ends. Parents receive training and strategies so skills carry over at home, in the community, and at school — making progress part of everyday life.

Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching
Parents are not just observers — they are essential members of the treatment team. Our parent training programs equip families with the tools and strategies to support their child’s progress at home and in the community.
We work with parents to implement structured and naturalistic teaching strategies, manage challenging behaviours, and carry skills learned in therapy into everyday routines.
Parent training at Kids ETC can include support with:
Sleep training — establishing healthy sleep routines using behaviour-based strategies
Toilet training — step-by-step support for achieving independence with toileting
Behaviour management — practical strategies for navigating challenging moments at home
Generalization of therapy goals — helping your child use the skills they’ve learned across all environments
