ABA & ESDM Therapies
What is ABA therapy?
Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) is the science dedicated to improving human learning and behaviour.
ABA therapy is the application of this science as a therapeutic approach. It has become the leading evidence-based treatment for children with autism and related communication, learning, and behavioural difficulties.
What is ESDM therapy?
Our ABA program is grounded in Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI). This neurodiversity-affirming approach focuses on building meaningful, adaptive skills for daily life—not just reducing challenging behaviours.
As part of this philosophy, we offer ESDM therapy (Early Start Denver Model), a play-based intervention within the NDBI framework.
