Where are you located?Spectrum Way Behaviour Consulting is located in Newmarket, Ontario and provides In-Home ABA Therapy within York Region and surrounding areas.
-
Do you have a center?At this time, we do not offer center-based services.
-
Does someone need to be home during therapy sessions?Yes. Our therapists provide ABA therapy and are different from respite workers. There must be a caregiver in the home during the session.
-
What do I need to have in my home for ABA therapy sessions?At a minimum, your child and the therapist need an area that is conductive to both work and play. Somewhere relatively free of clutter and distractions with a small table or desk to sit at and some preferred toys and activities that your child enjoys.
-
Do you offer after-school or weekend sessions?We will try our best to accommodate schedules, but these time slots are in high demand and it is difficult to find therapists who are available during these times. It it often very challenging to put a team in place for evenings or afterschool hours.
-
I can't take off work to be home during the sessions, can the ABA therapy be conducted at my child's daycare?Some daycares will allow outside agencies to work within their premises. It is worth asking your child's daycare to see if this is an option.
-
I am worried about my child missing school to attend ABA therapy.This is a valid concern. School is incredibly important for both academic and social development for children of all ages. Unfortunately, the school system does not always have the resourced necessary to provide the support your child may need to be successful. 1 on 1 ABA therapy sessions can be used to improve academic skills that will allow your child to be more successful during these hours they do attend school. We can also collaborate with the teachers to identify areas your child needs extra support with.

How long are ABA therapy sessions? How many sessions should we have per week?The number of total hours is dependent on your child's specific needs and the delivery model that is chosen. A typical therapy session lasts 3-4 hours as this allows therapy to be more easily integrated into play and functional life skills routines, while still providing ample opportunities for learning.
