Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy & Intensive Behavior Intervention (IBI)Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on the learning of new skills that will help individuals live a more productive and independent life. It is recognized as one of the most effective interventions for treating Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Intensive Behavior Intervention (IBI) is an evidenced-based treatment proven effective for children with autism and it is typically implemented with children who are school aged. The principles of ABA are used to teach your child in an intensive teaching format.

The goal of IBI therapy is to teach your child HOW to learn. Skills are
taught systematically and with repetition. Through teaching core skills
across different areas of development, your child will learn to better engage in life and adapt to challenges.

Therapy Fundraiser

We take great care to help our students explore their creative and sensory talents by integrating their learning programs with our many toys and learning materials. Thanks to our supplier, Flaghouse Canada, we are excited to be able to bring our families and their friends the opportunity to purchase therapy supporting learning materials at competitive prices. 

We are asking our community to consider purchasing these items for their families or for donation to an organization supporting children. When you purchase one of our therapy support items the proceeds go towards helping to fund additional hours of direct therapy for children who may not be able to receive the full clinical support they need.

We hope you’ll take a look at our catalogue options and help our centre support our community. 

Please contact us if you have questions about any of the items you see or if you would like more information on how you help with our fundraiser. 

Unleash your true potential.
