Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3, New York, NY 10001, is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children and adolescents on the autism spectrum and those facing other developmental challenges.
At ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, our guiding principle is simple yet profound: our goal is to guide your child towards success and happiness that is meaningful to them. We understand that every child is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and individual path to reach their full potential. Our dedicated team of experienced and certified behavior analysts and therapists works collaboratively with your child and your family to create personalized treatment plans.
Our evidence-based ABA therapy focuses on understanding the function of behavior to develop effective strategies that promote positive change. We target a wide range of skills crucial for your child's development, including communication (verbal and non-verbal), social skills, adaptive living skills (daily routines, self-care), play skills, and reducing challenging behaviors that may hinder their progress or impact their interactions.
We believe in a partnership approach. Your involvement and insights are invaluable to us. We work closely with parents, caregivers, and educators to ensure consistency and reinforcement of therapeutic goals across all environments – at home, school, and the community. Our therapists are trained to build strong rapport with children, creating a supportive and motivating atmosphere conducive to learning and growth.
Whether your child needs help with initiating conversation, managing transitions, learning independent skills, or developing friendships, our tailored interventions are designed to build skills systematically and celebrate every step forward. We are committed to not just teaching skills, but fostering confidence and joy in your child's journey.
Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, we are easily accessible and dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and families within our community. We also serve clients from the New York area, demonstrating our commitment to providing specialized care wherever it's needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy, and how can it help my child?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) Therapy is a scientifically validated approach that focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It uses principles of learning to increase positive behaviors (like communication, social interaction, and independent skills) and decrease challenging behaviors. At Here on the Spectrum, we use ABA to tailor interventions to your child's specific needs, helping them acquire new skills, improve communication, manage emotions, and enhance their overall quality of life and happiness.
Q2: What ages do you work with?
We primarily serve children and adolescents, typically from early intervention age (around 2-3 years old) up to teenagers and young adults. Our assessment and therapeutic approach can be adapted for individuals within this developmental range, focusing on the specific skills and challenges relevant to their age and abilities.
Q3: How do I know if ABA Therapy is right for my child?
If your child faces challenges with communication, social interaction, behavior regulation, learning new skills, or daily living activities, ABA therapy could be beneficial. However, every child is different. We recommend scheduling a consultation with our team. We can discuss your child's specific needs, review developmental milestones, and determine if our services align with supporting their goals.
Q4: What does a typical ABA therapy session involve?
ABA therapy sessions are highly individualized. They might include discrete trial training (practicing specific skills), natural environment teaching (learning in everyday settings), play-based instruction, verbal behavior training, or focused behavior support. The specific activities depend entirely on the goals outlined in your child's personalized treatment plan, designed by our qualified therapists.
Q5: How long does ABA therapy typically last, and what is the process?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly based on the child's age, presenting challenges, goals, and family resources. Some children may require years of therapy, while others might achieve their primary goals in a shorter period. The process generally involves:
1. Consultation & Assessment: Discussing your child's needs and conducting assessments (if necessary).
2. Treatment Plan Development: Creating a personalized plan with measurable goals.
3. Implementation: Conducting therapy sessions based on the plan.
4. Data Collection & Monitoring: Regularly tracking progress to ensure effectiveness.
5. Review & Adjustment: Periodically reviewing progress with you and adjusting the plan as needed.
We emphasize ongoing communication and collaboration with families throughout this process.
