I don’t sleep at night worrying about my child’s future
How can I help my child learn to self-regulate?
By 11AM I’m exhausted after spending my morning managing another meltdown (or three)
I wish I could take my child to the grocery store without being terrified of their behaviour
You never stop wanting what every parent wants:
For your child to have a happy, healthy, and successful future.
In-home ABA gives your child the skills, opportunity, and support they need to thrive in the real world.
As the only evidence-based treatment for ASD, ABA is the gold standard when it comes to treating kids on the spectrum. ABA focuses on helping kids acquire skills as well as modifying their behavior through positive reinforcement.
Insurance accepted
With Heartlinks ABA on your side, you’ll celebrate the moments that make everything worthwhile.
Managing behavior
Improving communication
Developing new skills
Worrying about ABA doesn’t need to be another item on your to-do list. We make ABA therapy easy for you and enjoyable for your child.
Therapy takes place at your home where your child is happiest and most comfortable so they can learn best. Book sessions on days and times that work for you. The best part? No extra driving to appointments.
Parents are welcomed, and encouraged, to observe and participate in therapy sessions. Ask questions, offer insights and understand for yourself how ABA works. The more involved you are, the better the outcomes.
We handle everything to do with insurance. We coordinate with your provider, let you know the status of your insurance coverage, and tell you if there are any additional costs involved.
You shouldn’t need to chase after your provider. We are sticklers about being responsive and communicative. We’re always a phone call or text message away. Any changes or issues? We’ll get in touch asap to sort things out.
Start faster, progress quicker. Our wide network of qualified therapists means your child can begin therapy right away. No waiting months for an opening, while your child could be learning valuable skills and making meaningful progress.
Benefit from our world-class expertise, passion-filled care, and whole-child insight. Your child may have an ASD diagnosis, but their diagnosis doesn’t define them.
A holistic assessment
ABA is one piece of your child’s treatment plan. We encourage you to share a detailed history so we can design a program that empowers your child to succeed. Our comprehensive assessment gives us a full appreciation of your child’s challenges so we can give them the support that suits them best.
A naturalistic teaching approach
You don’t want to turn your child into a robot, and neither do we. Naturalistic teaching means we focus on learning through your child’s natural environment. Therapy doesn’t take place only at a table or desk. Building Lego on the floor? We’ll get down on the floor, and introduce concepts like colors, sorting and planning. Racing their matchbox cars? We’ll join the game, reinforcing concepts like turn-taking, and communication.
The skills – and willingness – to work with all ages
Older kids and teens can benefit tremendously from ABA. With over 20 years of experience with ASD and ABA, we know how to take the principles of ABA and adapt the therapy program to suit your child’s age and needs.
Hand-in-hand partnership
You know your child best. We’re not here to tell you what to do or act as we know better. We care about one thing: seeing your child succeed. When every member of your child’s team pulls together and brings their unique expertise, we present a cohesive approach and the best outcomes are achieved.
A relationships-based therapy
We’re not here to “do” therapy to your child. We’re here to connect with them and work with them. Our warm and patient therapists get to know your child, building a positive relationship throughout.
A customized therapy plan
We don’t do copy-and-paste therapy. Instead, we take the fundamentals of ABA and adapt them to suit your child’s personality, preferences, and interests. Does your child love water? We’ll incorporate it. Obsessed with Starwars lego? We’ll use it during the therapy.
Skills your child can use in the real world
You may wonder “Will my child be able to perform this skill outside of the therapy session?”
Naturalistic teaching offers kids on the spectrum an opportunity to learn socially appropriate behaviors within the context of the social environments they find themselves in every day like the dinner table, the playground, or the grocery store. This accelerates progress, and makes therapy fun for your child.
A program tailored to your child’s age and needs
Whether you have a non-verbal toddler or a high-functioning pre-teen struggling with social interactions, we’ll design an age-appropriate intervention that takes into account your child’s goals, skills, and abilities.
An involved team player
Your child’s therapy – and progress – doesn’t take place in a vacuum. We regularly meet with teachers, the school, other therapists and medical professionals to make sure we’re all on the same page. By sharing insights and collaborating, you get a whole-child approach and the best outcomes.
A child that looks forward to sessions
Your child needs to enjoy therapy in order to engage in the process. Your child will experience therapy as fun, and be motivated to participate.
