Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach used to build meaningful skills and increase independence. An assessment is completed to help identify each client’s strengths and areas for growth, and individualized goals are then developed based on assessment results as well as parent and caregiver priorities.
GAIN Learning Centre supports children and youth from approximately 18 months to 18 years of age. Services are individualized based on each client’s developmental level, needs, and goals.
No. A formal Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis is not required to receive services at GAIN. We work with families to determine whether our services are an appropriate fit based on the child’s individual needs.
Each client has their own individualized therapy space and works directly with trained staff. Sessions typically include a combination of structured programming and reinforcement breaks, which may include time in the movement room, sensory room, outdoor playground, or other preferred activities. Every session is catered to the individual client and their specific goals, interests, and needs.

This depends on your child’s current skills and goals. Individual programming allows for highly personalized teaching, while group programming can provide opportunities to practice social communication, flexibility, peer interaction, group participation, and independence. Recommendations are made based on what will best support each client.
