Applied Behaviour Analysis

At FIREFLY, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Services are provided to children and youth with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and who are registered with or have applied to the Ontario Autism Program (OAP). ABA Services may be delivered through a variety of options (i.e. in person, virtual or hybrid) where clinicians work directly with the child or youth in the home, centre or community or through the mediator model, where clinicians support family members throughout assessment and intervention.

Children that might benefit from ABA may be having difficulty in the following areas:

  • Toilet training
  • Feeding
  • Sleeping
  • Social and emotional regulation
  • Communication and play
  • Executive functioning skills (attention, organization, planning, self control, time management)
  • Self-help skills
