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 compassionate and effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our mission, as embodied by ABA Therapy by HERE Consulting, is clear: to guide your child towards success and happiness that is uniquely meaningful to them.
ABA therapy is a scientific approach focused on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment. It is widely recognized as the gold standard treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), helping individuals develop essential skills and reduce challenging behaviors. At Here on the Spectrum, we leverage the principles of ABA to create personalized interventions tailored specifically to each child's unique needs, abilities, and goals.
Our dedicated team of experienced therapists and behavior analysts are committed to building strong partnerships with both children and their families. We believe that meaningful progress requires a collaborative effort, where parents and caregivers are empowered with strategies and knowledge to support their child's development consistently across all settings.
We understand that seeking therapy is a significant step, and we strive to make the process as supportive and understanding as possible. Our Downtown Vancouver location (and service reach to New York) offers accessibility and convenience, allowing families to focus on what matters most – their child's growth and well-being.
Whether your child needs help with communication, social skills, daily living activities, or managing challenging behaviors, our ABA therapy program provides a structured, positive, and individualized approach to foster lasting change. We focus on celebrating small victories and building skills that lead to greater independence and a fulfilling life.

Q1: What is ABA Therapy?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a scientific approach that focuses on understanding how human behavior is affected by the environment. It involves analyzing behavior patterns, identifying the reasons behind them (like seeking attention or avoiding a task), and implementing strategies to increase desired behaviors and decrease challenging ones. ABA therapy is highly effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, helping them acquire new skills (like communication, social interaction, academics, and daily living tasks) and improve overall quality of life.
Q2: How is ABA therapy tailored to my child?
At Here on the Spectrum, every ABA therapy program is highly individualized. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's specific strengths, challenges, interests, and goals. Based on this assessment, our therapists develop a customized treatment plan. This plan outlines clear, measurable goals and specific strategies designed to address your child's unique needs in a supportive and engaging way. The focus is always on making therapy relevant and motivating for the child.
Q3: What does a typical ABA therapy session involve?
ABA therapy sessions are designed to be engaging and goal-oriented. Activities can vary widely depending on the child's age, interests, and specific goals. They might include discrete trial training (practicing specific skills), natural environment teaching (learning skills during everyday activities), play-based learning, or social skills groups. Sessions often use positive reinforcement (like praise, tokens, or access to preferred activities) to encourage desired behaviors and learning. The environment is carefully managed to support learning and practice.
Q4: How do I know if ABA therapy is right for my child?
If your child is struggling with communication, social interaction, learning new skills, exhibiting repetitive behaviors, or having significant challenging behaviors that impact their daily life or your family's well-being, ABA therapy could be beneficial. It is particularly effective for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, ABA principles can be applied to help anyone learn new skills or modify behaviors. We recommend scheduling a consultation with us to discuss your child's specific situation and determine if ABA therapy aligns with their needs.
