Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3, New York, NY 10001, is a dedicated centre committed to providing exceptional Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our mission, as part of the HERE Consulting family, is clear: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is uniquely meaningful to them.
At Here on the Spectrum, we understand that every child is an individual with their own strengths, challenges, and potential. We believe that Applied Behaviour Analysis is a powerful, evidence-based approach to help children develop essential skills and reduce challenging behaviours. Our dedicated team of experienced therapists designs personalized treatment plans tailored specifically to each child's unique needs, goals, and learning style.
Our comprehensive ABA therapy services focus on developing crucial life skills across multiple domains:
Communication Skills: We work on receptive and expressive language, conversational skills, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) if needed. Social Skills: We help children understand social cues, initiate interactions, maintain friendships, and navigate social situations appropriately. Independent Living Skills: We focus on daily routines, self-care tasks, play skills, and learning to engage in leisure activities safely and effectively. Behavioural Skills: We address challenging behaviours by teaching replacement behaviours and promoting positive interactions within a supportive environment.We prioritize a collaborative approach. We work closely with parents, caregivers, and other professionals involved in the child's life to ensure consistency and the best possible outcomes. Our goal is not just to achieve specific milestones but to foster overall development, improve quality of life, and equip children with the tools they need to thrive and find happiness in their own way.
Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, we are easily accessible and deeply committed to serving the local community. We offer flexible scheduling and a nurturing environment designed to make the therapy journey positive and effective for both the child and the family.

Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, or Applied Behaviour Analysis, is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how environment influences behaviour. It involves identifying specific behaviours, analyzing the reasons behind them (the function), and implementing strategies to increase desired behaviours and decrease challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for teaching new skills and promoting positive change.
Q2: What conditions does ABA Therapy address?
ABA therapy is particularly effective for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, its principles can be beneficial for children with various developmental delays, learning disabilities, and challenging behaviours, regardless of diagnosis. Our assessments help determine if ABA therapy is the right fit for your child.
Q3: How does the ABA therapy process work at Here on the Spectrum?
The process typically begins with an initial assessment to understand your child's current skills, challenges, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists create a personalized treatment plan with clear objectives. Therapy sessions are then conducted according to this plan, focusing on skill development and behaviour modification using positive reinforcement techniques. Regular progress reports and parent training are often part of the process.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically take?
The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, specific needs, the complexity of the goals, and the rate of progress. ABA is typically an intensive therapy initially, often involving multiple sessions per week. As skills are acquired and generalization occurs, the intensity may decrease. Therapy is an ongoing process focused on continuous skill building and adaptation to the child's changing needs.
