Our Services
At Next Path Autism Services, we offer compassionate, evidence-based support for children, teens, and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related developmental needs. Our programs are rooted in the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), tailored to each individual’s goals, strengths, and interests.
We proudly offer in-home, community-based, and virtual services to best support each family’s needs.
Behaviour Therapy (ABA)
Our one-to-one, evidence-based ABA therapy provides individualized programs designed to support communication, life skills, emotional regulation, and behavior reduction. By using structured, personalized interventions tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs, we promote meaningful and lasting developmental progress.
Caregiver Coaching & Training
We empower families with practical tools and personalized strategies to support their child’s growth at home. Through collaborative coaching, we teach parents effective techniques to manage challenging behaviors, enhance communication skills, and create a positive, nurturing environment. This partnership ensures that therapeutic gains extend beyond sessions, helping your child build independence and thrive every day.
Group Sessions
Our group sessions provide a supportive and engaging environment where children can develop essential social skills alongside their peers. Through structured activities and guided interactions, children learn to improve communication, cooperation, turn-taking, and problem-solving abilities. These sessions are carefully designed to promote friendship-building, increase confidence, and practice social behaviors in a naturalistic setting.
Group sessions also offer opportunities for peer modeling and shared experiences, helping children generalize skills learned in one-on-one therapy to real-life social situations. Led by experienced therapists, our groups focus on fostering meaningful connections while supporting individual growth.
Consultation & School Collaboration
We work closely with educators and support teams to promote consistency and continuity across all settings, ensuring your child receives coordinated care and support.
Our process for service:
Step 1: Discovery Call
Contact us for a friendly conversation about our services, approach, and how we can support your child’s unique needs. We’ll answer your questions and help determine the best way to begin.
Step 2: Caregiver Meeting
A Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA) will meet with caregivers, in-person or virtually, to:
- Learn about your child’s strengths, challenges, and history
- Understand your priorities and goals for therapy
- Discuss your child’s daily routines, preferences, and support needs
Your child may join for a short introduction so we can start building rapport.
Step 3: Direct Observation
We’ll arrange a time to meet your child in a familiar environment. During this visit, we observe and interact to better understand:
- Communication and social skills
- Play and leisure interests
- Daily living and self-help skills
- Coping strategies and responses to change
Using evidence-based assessment tools, we carefully evaluate skills and gather data related to behaviors of concern. These assessments may include: The ABLLS-R (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised) and VB-MAPP (Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program), AFLS, ESDM (Early Denver Model), Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs), and others tailored to your child’s needs.
Step 4: Therapy Planning and Recommendations
Using the information gathered, we will create a personalized therapy plan with clear objectives and recommendations. You’ll be involved every step of the way to ensure the plan reflects your child’s needs and your family’s priorities.
Step 5: Getting Started
Once you approve the therapy plan, we’ll match your child with a qualified therapist and begin sessions — whether in-home, in the community, or virtually. Progress will be monitored regularly, and we’ll keep you updated on milestones and next steps.
