How Portia is Different

What sets Portia apart is our deep clinical expertise and our unique approach to therapy. We focus on delivering care with warmth, flexibility, and a commitment to what truly works for children and families. Our foundation is rooted in advanced training in naturalistic, developmental approaches to ABA. From the beginning, our team has been guided by leaders in the field, helping us shape a model that is both evidence-based and compassionate.

We don’t rely on rigid repetition or one-size-fits-all programs. Instead, we use play, meaningful routines, and positive reinforcement to create engaging learning opportunities that are personalized for each child.

We’ve also developed our own Portia ABA Clinic Software to enhance each family’s experience, offering access to session notes and allowing our therapists to focus more on what matters most: connecting with your child and supporting their growth.

Working closely with families, we provide ABA services that are collaborative, individualized, and designed to help each child reach their fullest potential. Our Registered Behaviour Analysts are licensed through the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario, maintaining the highest professional standards.
