Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3 and New York, NY 10001, is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. We understand that navigating developmental challenges requires specialized support, and our mission is to empower individuals, particularly children, on the autism spectrum and those facing other developmental differences, to reach their full potential.
At ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, our core belief is simple yet powerful: our goal is to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them. We achieve this through individualized therapy programs designed specifically for each child's unique needs, strengths, and goals. Our experienced and dedicated team of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work collaboratively with children, families, and other professionals to create positive and lasting change.
ABA Therapy is a scientific, evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding and improving behavioral patterns. It examines how environment and behavior interact to shape learning and development. Our therapists use ABA principles to teach new skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and enhance overall quality of life. This includes developing crucial skills such as communication (verbal and non-verbal), social interaction, adaptive living skills (like dressing and grooming), and academic readiness.
We pride ourselves on a client-centered approach. We believe that involving the family is essential for success. Parents and caregivers are integral members of the therapy team, receiving training and support to help implement strategies at home and in the community. Our programs are dynamic and evolve as the child progresses, ensuring continuous growth and reinforcement of desired skills.
Whether your child is just beginning to understand their world or has made significant strides, Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver offers tailored interventions to foster independence, build confidence, and cultivate joy. We focus on celebrating every small victory and working towards meaningful, long-term outcomes.

Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific approach to understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It focuses on identifying the factors that trigger behaviors and the consequences that follow. ABA therapists then design interventions based on principles of learning to increase helpful behaviors (like communication, social skills, and self-care) and decrease challenging behaviors (like aggression or self-stimulation). It's widely recognized as an effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder and other developmental challenges.
Q2: How do I know if my child needs ABA Therapy?
If your child is experiencing challenges with communication, social interaction, behavior regulation, learning, or daily living skills, ABA therapy could be beneficial. Signs might include delayed speech, repetitive speech or actions, difficulty making friends, intense focus on specific interests, resistance to change, or engaging in disruptive or self-injurious behaviors. A consultation with a qualified professional, like those at Here on the Spectrum, can help determine if ABA therapy is appropriate for your child.
Q3: What does an ABA therapy session involve?
ABA therapy is highly individualized. Sessions are tailored to the child's specific goals and needs. They might involve discrete trial training (practicing new skills), natural environment teaching (learning in everyday settings), play-based activities, or focused behavior reduction strategies. The child might learn new skills, practice previously learned skills, or work on understanding social cues and interactions. Our therapists are trained to make learning engaging and reinforcing.
Q4: How do I get started with Here on the Spectrum?

Q5: Do you accept insurance?

While we cannot bill directly to insurance companies, we provide detailed documentation and invoices that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to understand your coverage for ABA therapy services and any requirements for pre-authorization or provider networks.
