In addition to virtual services, we offer individualized behavioural services at home, school, and community settings for individuals of all ages. Our teaching strategies are based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and address the child's needs in various domains, such as communication, language development, self-help, toileting, motor, social and play skills, as well as reducing of undesirable behaviours. All of the teaching strategies are developed and overseen by a Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA) and implemented on a one-to-one basis by an ABA Instructor Therapist.
What is the ABA process?
Step 1. Assessment
Meeting with the RBA to discuss the student's skills, challenges, goals, interests, and learning history.
Step 2. Behaviour Plan & Program Development
Outline student’s short-term learning objectives (e.g., language development, academics, toileting, play skills, etc.)
Identify events that surround challenging behaviours to determine why they occur.
Develop teaching strategies to enhance the student’s target skills.
Recommend service options.
Step 3. Plan Implementation
Prescribed strategies related to short-term learning objectives implemented by an ABA Instructor Therapist, under the supervision of an RBA.
Rigorous progress tracking and monitoring of the child's performance.
Evaluate the efficacy of teaching strategies and revise when needed.

Apex is partnered with School in the Pool, an organization that specializes in water safety and swimming instruction for individuals with special needs. Lessons are provided by certified swimming instructors with extensive experience supporting individuals with exceptionalities and overseen by our Clinical Director. Sessions focus on essential safety skills such as safe water entry and exit, responding to cues, floating, and basic movement in the water, while also targeting following pool-specific expectations. Using structured teaching strategies and consistent routines, we help participants develop confidence, communication, and self-regulation skills that extend beyond the pool.
