Toronto Markham ABA Therapy, Training, and Social Skills for Kids with Autism

ABA THERAPY

​

ABA Therapy is an evidence-based treatment for children with autism using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) principles.



Its naturalistic approach demonstrates remediation of the core symptoms of developmental delays and helps children develop the required skills to function independently in their natural environments.  ABA Therapy targets many socially significant goals including reduction of aggressive and/or self-injuring behaviour; improvement of language skills, social behaviour, and toileting for our learners who require foundational skills; many intermediate to advance goals such as conversation skills, academic supports, group/classroom instructions, social skills, independence, life skills, academic support and other individualized targets.  Progress is tracked through many data-driven measurement tools.
