About Us

At Developing Minds, we are dedicated to supporting children with autism and developmental needs through compassionate, evidence-based care. We provide specialized ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy for children across Toronto, Etobicoke, Mississauga, and surrounding areas.

Our mission is to help every child reach their full potential by building communication skills, independence, and confidence in everyday life. We work closely with families to create personalized therapy programs that meet each child’s unique strengths and needs.

Our Approach

We believe that every child learns differently. That’s why our approach is individualized, child-centered, and grounded in proven therapeutic methods.

Our team uses evidence-based practices, including Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), to support meaningful progress in behaviour, communication, and daily living skills. We also incorporate play-based and engaging strategies to ensure children feel comfortable, motivated, and supported throughout their therapy journey.

We collaborate closely with parents and caregivers, providing guidance and strategies that can be used at home to reinforce progress and create lasting results.

What is ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven, evidence-based therapy that helps children learn important life skills by understanding and improving behavior. It focuses on how children learn, communicate, and interact with others, using positive reinforcement to encourage helpful behaviors and reduce those that may be challenging.  Our ABA Therapy Programs are provided in the comfort of your home or at your child's school.  Collaboration with parents, teachers and other professionals involved is integral to our service delivery model.

ABA therapy works by taking complex skills—like communication, social interaction, or daily routines—and breaking them down into smaller, achievable steps that a child can learn one at a time. Therapists use structured teaching methods, repetition, and positive reinforcement to help children build these skills gradually. As each step is mastered, new skills are introduced, allowing meaningful progress over time. What makes ABA effective is its individualized approach—every program is carefully designed based on your child’s current abilities, learning style, and specific goals.

For children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ABA therapy can help:

  • Improve communication and language skills

  • Develop social and play skills

  • Increase independence in daily activities

  • Reduce challenging behaviors

  • Build confidence and emotional regulation

At its core, ABA therapy is about helping your child reach their full potential in a positive, caring, and encouraging environment—while also supporting families at every step.

School Based ABA Therapy 

Toronto District School Board
Scarborough, North York, East York, Etobicoke

Receiving Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy at schools within the Toronto District School Board can offer several important advantages for children with autism, especially because it happens in the environment where many social, academic, and behavioral skills are used every day. Developing Minds ABA Therapy offers ABA for students within the Toronto District School Board as part of their pilot project for students with autism in locations including North York Scarborough, East York Etobicoke and downtown Toronto.  

1. Skills Promoting Independence Learned in a Real-Life Setting

 

When Applied Behavior Analysis ABA therapy happens at school, children practice skills such as paying attention, asking for help and following rountines where they actually need them—in the classroom, on the playground, and during group activities. This helps skills transfer more easily to daily school life instead of only working in a clinic or at home. These skills support long-term independence in both academic and social settings.

2. Improved Social Skills With Peers

 

Schools provide natural opportunities to work on: turn-taking, sharing, communication and cooperative play.

ABA therapists in colloboration with Toronto District School Board staff can support social interactions in real time with classmates, which often makes learning these skills more meaningful.

3. Collaboration With Teachers

 

ABA therapy providers in Toronto, Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke can work closely with:

  • Classroom teachers & special education staff

  • ABA therapy in Toronto schools can be closely aligned with a child’s IEP goals, helping ensure that behavioral and learning objectives are addressed in a coordinated way.
