ABA Therapy in Ajax, Ontario
We provide in-home ABA therapy in Ontario, including dedicated support across Ajax. A certified ABA therapist works directly in your home, with every program designed and supervised by our BCBA.
Across AjaxWaterfront to northern Ajax
Durham Region's Growing Lakefront Town
Ajax sits on Lake Ontario within Durham Region and has grown substantially over the past two decades — a mix of established waterfront neighbourhoods and newer subdivisions farther north. Durham Region's autism and developmental services are anchored by organizations connected to Lakeridge Health and regional school boards, but the region's growth has outpaced service capacity, particularly for families in Ajax's newer developments.
Durham Region covers a lot of ground — Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, and beyond — and a single clinic location can't serve all of it well. In-home ABA therapy sidesteps that entirely: your child's therapist comes to your specific part of Ajax, whether that's near the waterfront trail or farther north near Highway 407.
Is In-Home Therapy Right for Your Child?
Ajax families typically reach out when:
Their child has an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and they want to start building skills now.
They've recently moved to Ajax and are still building a local support network.
A daycare or Durham District School Board school has flagged social or communication concerns.
They're waiting on OAP funding to become active and don't want to lose that time.
How We Deliver It
Certified therapist + BCBA oversight
A certified ABA therapist delivers your child's sessions in person, building real rapport over time. Behind that therapist, our BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) designs the program from a direct assessment, sets specific goals, and reviews progress on an ongoing basis. Supervision is frequently virtual, keeping oversight tight without adding extra visits to your week.
What a session looks like
Sessions are built around your Ajax home — a house near the waterfront, a townhouse in a newer subdivision, or an apartment closer to downtown. Your therapist uses the space and daily routine you already have, from morning routines to evening play, rather than requiring a dedicated therapy room. Every session is logged, so you see exactly what was targeted and how your child responded.
What We Focus On
Every plan is individualized after assessment around the skills that matter most to your child.
Communication
First words, sentence-building, or alternative communication for non-verbal children.
Social Skills
Sharing, turn-taking, and playing with siblings or peers.
Daily Living Skills
Toileting, dressing, and mealtime behaviour.
Behaviour Reduction
Meltdowns, aggression, or self-injurious behaviour.
School & Daycare Readiness
Following instructions, transitions, and sitting for group activities.

Funding Your Child's Program
