Our Life Skills Therapy Program is easily adapted to fit into your daily routine. It includes virtual support throughout the week, and depending on the plan, some in-home visits as well. Depending on your child's needs, we can offer between 3 to 12 completely individualized and personalized programs, that use a long- and short-term goal system. The programs address needs anywhere from social skills, self help skills, behaviour reduction or even toilet training. We use a combination of custom and standard assessments to evaluate your child's level of need, based off the following six categories (as appropriate).
-
Practical School Skills
-
Communication Skills
-
Social Skills
-
Fundamental Living Skills
-
Leisure Skills
-
Pre-Vocational and Vocational Skills
Our services are fully covered by both the childhood budget and interim one-time funding and falls under the category of "additional autism services and supports", and are more affordable than traditional services. We offer a combination of custom and standard assessments at a cost separate from our programs, so you can see what our recommendations are, without the full investment.
​
Traditional therapy methods, including ABA or IBI Therapy, typically cost between $30 and $65/ hour of therapist time. Assessments, consultations, supervision, programming and other administrative work is often charged at rates of $80/ hour or more. For a child who needs therapy, it is widely recommended they receive at least 12-25 hours of support per week. On the lowest end, parents and caregivers can expect to pay anywhere from $1440 to $4800 /month to provide this level of support (and even as much as $10, 000 or more for a child who needs 40 hrs of support/ wk).
​
Our therapy is effective, efficient and affordable. We give parents the tools and understanding to develop their child's skills in the real-world, on a consistent and ongoing basis.
​
Each plan offers between 45-mins and 1.5-hours of virtual support each week. These check-ins can be through phone calls, instant chat or video calls and is dedicated one-on-one time with your therapist to discuss progress and setbacks or ask any questions.
​
Each plan also offers between 1- and 3-hours of administrative support each week. This can include ongoing email communication, program development or assessments. As each child progresses through their therapy, programs are adapted to continue meeting their needs.
​
Depending on you and your child's level of need, we offer up to a maximum of 12 life skill programs at a time.
