Autism Center for Kids Inc. offers centre-based ABA programs in Thornhill, providing structured, individualized therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While our focus is on non-ABA, we also support families seeking evidence-based ABA interventions to complement other therapies for comprehensive developmental support.
Our programs are available in-person in Thornhill and online for families across Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, as well as internationally in the USA, Argentina, and South Korea.
What Are Centre-Based ABA Programs?
Centre-based ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) programs provide structured, therapist-led interventions that focus on improving specific behaviors, communication, and social skills. Sessions are typically conducted in a clinical environment with one-on-one or small group formats.
Even within ABA, we incorporate individualized, child-centered strategies to ensure therapy aligns with the child’s strengths, needs, and emotional well-being.
