Autism Services – What is ABA?

As part of foundational family services, you may choose to meet for an individual session with a family support coordinator after attending a workshop, to help you apply the workshop content to your specific family situation.

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy used to support individuals with an autism spectrum disorder to learn new skills and/or reduce challenging behaviour. Often parents/caregivers who have a child with ASD come across ABA services when looking for support. This workshop will introduce parents/caregivers to what ABA is and how it is used to support the learning and development of children and youth with ASD.

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will be able to:
• Describe the basic principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
• Understand how ABA programming is tailored and individualized
• Identify common strategies used in ABA programming

Requirements: To access this workshop, or a follow-up session, you will need a valid Ontario Autism Program Reference number. If you do not have an OAP Reference number please contact the Maltby Centre at 613-546-8535 and ask to speak to a Family Support Coordinator. This is a free workshop.
