Empowering your child with ASD
As parents/caregiver, we want our child to thrive. A diagnosis of ASD can be overwhelming, filled with emotions and questions. Over time, the initial shock will give way to a deeper understanding of your child’s unique strengths and needs.
At TACTS ABA Inc., we’re here to provide the right support and services that empower you and your child.
We are an approved OAP Provider for ABA services.
Where learning is a lot of Fun!
Programs and Services
Our programs and services are supervised by Registered BCBAs on a weekly basis to ensure treatment fidelity and skill acquisition for all clients. Parent/caregiver feedback is gathered prior to program development to ensure buy-in and alignment with their child’s needs and goals.
1:1 ABA/IBI Therapy
Individualized programs target a range of skills: Expressive and receptive language, independent and group play, social skills, school-readiness, academic skills, and among others.
Parent Consultation
Parent training/coaching plays a key role in generalizing skills learned in therapy, enhancing the child’s functioning in their natural environment. Active parent involvement is essential for ensuring consistency in treatment, understanding their child’s communication, and reducing stress/anxiety for the whole family.
School Consultation
Collaboration between school professionals (psycho-educational consultants, SLPs, special education, school staff) and the BCBA is essential in supporting their student in school. BCBAs offer valuable training, support and guidance, focusing on their client's needs and strengths to ensure success in the school setting.
Why ABA?
ABA is an evidence-based science, aiming to improve socially significant behaviors and reduce challenging ones through the use of reinforcement principles.
It is important to remember that children learn best when they are interested and motivated. This is where fun comes in.
When ABA sessions have fun activities, children experience learning as enjoyable and show positive behaviour.
Understanding each child’s individual needs and interests are needed to create a more engaging and effective learning space.
When children link learning to positive experiences, they are more likely to participate, remember what they learn, and enjoy learning even more!
