What GBC offers
Initial Consultation
Each family that completes a registration form receives a free, initial consultation - over the phone or virtually. In this consultation, the Intake Coordinator & caregivers discuss:
-
The situation of concern to determine the best model of service
-
What the goals of the family are and what appointments may look like
-
Any questions about what ABA is and what it can potentially provide for the family
-
Service fees
Focused ABA (mediator model)
Our focused ABA approach is timely and efficient, combining behavior management, skill development, and parent training in one package. Our team:
-
Works with families to identify 1-3 target behaviors and concerns at a time and teach replacment skills
-
Conducts assessments to understand the reasons behind these behaviors
-
Designs personalized treatment plans to meet each family’s unique needs
1:1 Comprehensive ABA
Comprehensive ABA is provided through a one-on-one direct therapy model. Our therapist conducts a skills assessment with your child to identify the best initial skills to teach.
In contrast to our focused model, this model targets development in multiple skill areas such as communication, daily living, social and leisure.
We also offer a hybrid version that includes teaching strategies for parents!
AIM Curriculum
The AIM curriculum includes a behavior assessment to understand the child's or youth's actions, plus ongoing progress tracking by the family.
​
This training is perfect for kids and teens who struggle with flexible thinking, tend to be rigid, or act impulsively based on their feelings.
Parent Coaching
Parent coaching can be provided through our mediator model or in combination with our skill acquisition services.
Together, we help families build practical strategies to support everyday routines, respond to challenging behaviour, and promote meaningful skill development. Our goal is to help create goals that feel realistic for your family.
Adult Daily Living & Independence Skills
This 1:1 service supports adults over 18 in building practical skills for everyday life. Goals are individualized and may focus on personal care, household routines, meal preparation, communication, self-advocacy, community participation, and greater independence at home and beyond.
