1. What is ABA therapy?
ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) is an evidence-based approach that helps children and individuals learn skills, increase independence, and reduce behaviours that interfere with learning or daily life. Programs are individualized based on strengths, needs, and goals.

2. What is IBI and who is it for?
IBI (Intensive Behavioural Intervention) is a more intensive form of ABA, typically 20–40 hours per week. It is often used with young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to build foundational skills early.

3. How long will my child need ABA therapy?
The length of therapy varies depending on individual needs, goals, and progress. Some individuals benefit from short-term services, while others may require longer-term support. Progress is reviewed regularly by the supervising BCBA.

4. How do I know if ABA is right for my child?
ABA is effective for individuals with autism, developmental delays, and behavioural challenges. A comprehensive assessment by a BCBA or CPBAO-registered professional will help determine if ABA is appropriate.

This ensures consistency, reduces stress for families, and supports skill integration.
