Summer 2026
Intensive ABA
REGISTRATION OPEN
Our Summer Intensive Teaching program is an opportunity for campers to benefit from focused teaching for a short block of time. During this 4 or 8 week program, educators work on meaningful learning goals in the areas that are significant to the camper and caregiver(s).
This program is ideal for school-aged students who are looking for a "boost" over the summer months. It is also a great option for campers who are looking to explore a neuroaffirming and assent-based ABA program amongst a supportive and uplifting community!

What to expect:
In these sessions, 1 educator and 1 student work together in a learning environment that was designed to minimize distractions and allow the student to focus on learning and skill development. Learning goals are achieved through repetition, frequent practice, skill scaffolding and other evidence-based ABA strategies.
​
During the initial days of the Summer Program, our team completes a brief but comprehensive assessment of your child's skills. These assessments give us the opportunity to learn more about each student. They give us a sense of how they learn, what they like, what they're good at, and what challenges them.
​
From the results of the assessment, a small list of individualized goals will be developed. These goals will be the focus of intensive teaching time and will evolve and change as needed throughout the program.
Our Aspire Beginnings program is a great option for early learners age 2-4 this summer!

Parents will participate in an intake meeting to guide the development of their child's goals for the summer. Goals for students in the Summer Program will vary greatly to meet the unique needs of each student but could include:
​
-
Communication (non-verbal and verbal communication, spontaneous vocal behaviour etc.)
-
Readiness-to-learn and group-readiness skills

Pre-academic and academic skills

Self-regulation, coping and adaptive skills

Supervision and Reports
-
Aspire’s Summer Program is led by our team of Registered Behaviour Analysts (RBAs), who are also approved providers listed on the Access OAP Provider List.
-
At the beginning of the program, we meet with families to collaboratively set intentional summer learning goals. This process is grounded in a strengths-based approach and focuses on supporting each child’s interests, abilities, and overall well-being, ensuring programming is responsive and meaningful.
-
In late August, families will receive a Summary Report that highlights their child’s strengths, accomplishments, and areas of growth observed over the summer. The report also includes supportive recommendations to help guide continued learning and well-being in the year ahead.
-
We are committed to providing meaningful, responsive support that honours each child’s strengths, growth, and individual path to success.
