GUIDE 01

Understanding ABA: What to Expect

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically validated therapeutic approach that focuses on how learning occurs and how human behavior is influenced by the environment.

At ABA Therapy Mississauga, we prioritize positive reinforcement, dignity, and active communication. Our therapists build upon your child's natural strengths to foster meaningful independence across routines like morning preparation, peer sharing, and self-advocacy.

What ABA Focuses On

  • Expressive & Receptive Language

    Teaching children functional ways to express needs and feelings.

  • Social & Peer Play

    Turn-taking, reciprocal play, and emotional regulation.

  • Daily Living & Independence

    Dressing, toileting, mealtime flexibility, and following routines.

First Consultation Checklist

  1. Previous Assessments

    Gather any past speech, psychological, or pediatric reports.

  2. Top 3 Family Priorities

    Identify which daily routines you most want to improve.

  3. OAP Funding Letter
