OUR SERVICES

---

We are proud to offer a wide range of ABA services to meet the needs of children, youth, and their families. Our team of Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs) and ABA therapists use engaging, research-based methods to help your child overcome challenging behaviours and learn vital social, cognitive, communication, motor, and life skills.

WHY CENTRE-BASED SERVICES?

A wide range of reinforcers and specialized learning materials for all developmental ages	Enhanced opportunities for staff collaboration, training, and supervision	A safe place for your child to learn and grow while providing you well-deserved respite
Sensory-friendly, structured environment for optimized learning	Increased interaction with on-site BCBAs, allowing for in-the-moment support	Conveniently located for generalizing skills to the local community

1:1 Behaviour Intervention

The nature of 1:1 Behaviour Intervention is highly intensive to give children the extra attention and repetition they need to close the developmental gap with that of their peers. Under the supervision of a BCBA, an ABA therapist works solely with your child, targeting goals outlined in their treatment plan. While every child's goals are different, the focus of 1:1 Behaviour Intervention is typically on decreasing behaviours that are harmful and increasing academics, communication, daily living, motor, and play/leisure skills.

SOCIAL SKILLS GROUP

What are the do’s and don’ts of making and keeping friends? How do you read body language? What’s the best way to keep a conversation going? Whereas many children learn these basic skills simply by exposure to social situations, children with autism often need to be taught skills explicitly, and as early as possible. Delivered in centre by ABA therapists and overseen by a BCBA, our social skills groups offer a comfortable setting for school-age children to develop and practice their social skills with peers on a weekly basis.​

LEARNING CENTRE

Gateway Learning Centre is an alternative education option serving grades K-12 in Prince George and the surrounding area. We provide a structured learning environment, low student-to-staff ratios, and specialized programming with an emphasis on individualized academic instruction. Our staff of ABA therapists focus on utilizing antecedent strategies and reinforcement to achieve desired learning outcomes and reduce harmful behaviours.

VIRTUAL CONSULTATION

We bring ABA services to you! Virtual Consultation offers a valuable alternative to centre-based services and closes the gap between those in need and the experts available to help. Through the use of video conferencing, our BCBAs provide real-time consultation across geographical distances. Parents wishing to take a lead role in their child’s therapy are given the tools to confidently deliver skill acquisition programs and behaviour management strategies.
 
We also provide consultation for families who prefer to employ their own team of therapists for an in-home ABA program. Our BCBAs will develop a treatment plan, oversee the program, and regularly offer feedback via video conferencing to ensure progress.

Virtual Consultation may be an excellent option for:

• Immunocompromised children with health and safety concerns
• Prospective families waitlisted for services
• Families living in rural or isolated communities

SCHOOL CONSULTATION

School Consultation is available to all educational institutions, from preschool through grade school. We strive to work collaboratively with educators and families to implement effective systems that promote positive behaviours, opportunities for inclusion, and student independence. Our BCBAs customize solutions to fit the needs of the student, teacher, or classroom and provide practical tools to guide students toward acquiring socially significant behaviours that better meet the challenges in school and beyond.
 
School Consultation can include:

• Assistance with Individual Education Plan (IEP) development
• Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)
• Behaviour Intervention Plan
• Classroom support and staff training

EDUCATION & TRAINING

Our BCBAs run workshops to equip caregivers, educators, and service providers with the tools to teach, interact with, and deliver behaviour management strategies to children of all ages and abilities. Participants can receive everything from a general overview of autism and ABA to more advanced subject matter such as school refusal and elopement.

BACB SUPERVISION

Our BCBAs provide both remote and in-person supervision, assessments, and training to individuals working toward BACB certification (e.g., BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT) or providing ABA services (e.g., RBTs and BCaBAs).
