We are founded on the principle that no one should be denied the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our ABA programming is data driven and we use evidence-based methods. Our goal is for each child to reach their full potential.
When your child enters our ABA program, they receive a comprehensive skill-based assessment and a customized plan designed to enhance their language development, communication, social and play skills, adaptive skills, and reduce challenging behaviours.
We use Portia ABA Clinic Software for our Program Development, Data Collection and Reporting. The use of technology in our practice increases visibility into the child’s progress, allows for timely changes and provides more hands-on time.
Our philosophy at Portia is learning through motivation. We strive to help each child reach their full potential and have fun!
The Portia team encompasses a depth and breadth of expertise, talent & experience that is unmatched.
You will see a significant rise in quality and satisfaction with the centre-based program at The Portia Learning Centre.
Portia is pleased to offer free developmental screenings for children between 6 and 36 months of age.
