Here on the Spectrum - ABA Therapy Downtown Vancouver, located at 1238 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6J3, and also serving clients from New York, NY 10001, is dedicated to providing exceptional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our mission, as part of HERE Consulting, is clear: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is uniquely meaningful to them.
ABA Therapy is a scientific, evidence-based approach focused on understanding and improving behavioral patterns. At Here on the Spectrum, we use ABA principles tailored specifically for each child. We meticulously analyze their current skills and challenges to create highly individualized treatment plans. These plans are designed to build essential skills like communication, social interaction, adaptive living, and reduce behaviors that may interfere with learning and participation in daily activities.
Our therapists are trained professionals who work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and educators. We believe in a partnership approach, ensuring everyone involved is equipped with strategies and techniques to support the child's progress consistently across different environments. Our goal is not just to achieve specific milestones, but to foster lasting change and help your child navigate the world with greater confidence and independence.
We understand that each child's journey is unique. That's why our ABA programs are dynamic and evolve as your child grows and develops. We focus on reinforcing positive behaviors and skills that genuinely enhance their quality of life, helping them reach their full potential and find joy in everyday experiences.
Whether you're based in the vibrant Downtown Eastside of Vancouver or seeking support from our New York location, we are committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care. We strive to make the journey supportive and hopeful for both you and your child.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
A: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It involves analyzing a child's behavior, identifying the reasons behind it (the function), and then implementing strategies to increase desired behaviors (like communication or sharing) and decrease challenging behaviors (like tantrums or self-injury). These strategies are based on principles of learning and reinforcement, and are tailored to the individual child's needs and goals.
Q2: How does the assessment process work?
A: The journey often begins with an initial consultation. We gather information about your child's developmental history, current skills, and challenges. This is followed by a comprehensive assessment, which may include direct observation of your child, standardized testing, and interviews with parents and caregivers. This assessment helps us create a detailed profile to design an effective, individualized treatment plan focused on your child's specific needs and goals.
Q3: What does an ABA therapy session involve?
A: ABA therapy sessions are highly individualized. They can take place in various settings (e.g., our clinic, home, school). During a session, our therapists work directly with your child on specific goals outlined in their treatment plan. This might involve discrete trial training (practicing new skills), natural environment teaching (learning in everyday contexts), play-based activities, or data collection to track progress. The focus is always on teaching practical skills using positive reinforcement.
Q4: How long does ABA therapy typically last? Do you accept insurance?
A: The duration of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on the child's age, diagnosis, presenting challenges, and the goals set. Many children benefit from years of consistent therapy. We work with families to create a schedule that works best for everyone. Regarding insurance, coverage for ABA therapy varies widely by plan and provider. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly. We can also assist by providing detailed invoices and documentation that may help with insurance claims or reimbursement.
