COMPASS Support Services provides ABA therapy primarily to individuals with autism spectrum disorder, as well as others who may benefit from ABA therapy.
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the use of scientific techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive changes in behaviour.
Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) is child-specific programming that uses the scientific techniques from ABA to design the length and intensity of the therapy curriculum. Ideally, a genuine IBI program is at least 20 hours per week.
