ABA Group Therapy
ABA Group Therapy is tailored to support children and youth in achieving important goals in their school, home and community. These services focus on communication, social skills or emotional regulation.
Is your child or teen ready to increase their independence in a fun and supportive group-based environment? If yes, ABA Group Therapy is right for you!
Surrey Place offers eight different ABA Group Therapy programs to help children and youth improve their social skills, communication, emotional regulation and more. Drawing on evidence-based teaching methods of applied behaviour analysis (ABA), our approach includes play-based learning and lots of positive reinforcement so your child can learn skills while having fun!
In each program, students will learn alongside peers in a small group setting. One-to-one support may be available at an extra cost, as needed.

How It Works
ABA Group Therapy is designed like swimming lessons. Some children progress quickly through the levels, while others repeat a level several times to work on or reinforce a goal. Sometimes, clinicians may recommend repeating a service. Caregivers can also sign their child up for the same level again if they feel they have more to gain from the curriculum.
