Advance Therapy provides comprehensive children's assessments that identify your child's strengths, needs, and learning style — and turn that understanding into a personalized ABA therapy plan. Every assessment is completed by a certified BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) with the support of trained ABA therapists, and is available in your home or virtually, wherever your family lives.
With 10+ years of experience supporting children on the autism spectrum, we know that great therapy starts with truly understanding the child. No two children are alike, so no two of our assessments — or the plans that follow — are ever the same.
A children's assessment is a structured evaluation of your child's communication, social, behavioural, and daily-living skills. Using direct observation, parent interviews, and evidence-based assessment tools, a BCBA builds a complete picture of where your child is today — and exactly which skills to build next.
The result is not just a report. It's the foundation of an individualized ABA program with clear, measurable goals your family can see progress against.
Every assessment is tailored to your child's age, needs, and your family's goals. Depending on your child, it may include:
VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, AFLS — evidence-based tools that measure language, learning, social, and daily-living skills against developmental milestones.
Identifies why challenging behaviours happen, so we can teach positive alternatives — never just manage symptoms.
We watch how your child plays, communicates, and learns in their natural environment, at home or online.
You know your child best. Your insights about routines, strengths, and concerns shape the entire evaluation.
A clear, jargon-free summary of findings, priority goals, and recommended therapy hours.
Note for families seeking a diagnosis: a formal autism diagnosis is provided by a physician or psychologist. If your child has not yet been diagnosed, we'll guide you through the diagnostic route in your province and can begin skill-focused support in the meantime.
Our assessments support children and young adults on the autism spectrum, as well as children with related developmental or behavioural needs. An assessment is a helpful next step if your child:
Has a new autism diagnosis and needs a starting point for early intervention or ABA therapy
Struggles with communication, social interaction, or daily routines
Shows challenging behaviours at home, daycare, or school
Is starting ABA therapy, or switching providers, and needs an updated plan
Hasn't been re-assessed in over a year and may have outgrown their current goals
Not sure whether an assessment is the right step? A free consultation is the easiest way to find out.
We start with a conversation. Tell us about your child, your concerns, and your goals, and we'll explain exactly what to expect.
A certified BCBA assesses your child using proven tools, direct observation, and your input as a parent — in your home or virtually.
You receive a clear written report covering your child's strengths, skill gaps, and priority goals, explained in plain language.
We translate the findings into an individualized ABA program with measurable goals, supported by parent coaching so progress continues at home — and updated continuously as your child grows.
Based on your child's assessment and individual needs, our team may recommend eitherhome based aba therapy or Aba therapy at daycare, depending on where your child requires the most support.
Every assessment is designed, conducted, and supervised by a certified BCBA — never a generic checklist.
More than a decade of assessing and supporting children on the autism spectrum, with 500+ families served.
Children show their true skills where they're comfortable. We assess at home or virtually — not in an unfamiliar clinic room.
Our assessments flow directly into an individualized ABA program, so nothing gets lost between evaluation and therapy.
In-home and virtual assessments are available to families across the country, including communities without local autism services.
We track progress through continuous data collection and formally re-assess as your child grows, so goals always stay one step ahead.
In many cases, yes. Provincial autism funding programs, private insurance, extended health benefits, and Jordan's Principle can often be applied toward assessments and the ABA therapy that follows. Coverage varies by province and plan — our team will walk you through what's available for your family. Explore our ABA therapy funding options for more details.
