Online ABA Therapy

Virtual Autism Therapy Across Canada

Advance Therapy delivers expert ABA therapy online, bringing certified support directly to your living room. Every virtual program is designed and supervised by a certified BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) and delivered through live, interactive video sessions tailored to your child.

For over 10 years, we've helped children on the autism spectrum build communication, social, and daily-living skills — and virtual therapy lets us bring that same quality of care to families anywhere, including communities with no local autism services or long in-person waitlists.

Understanding the Service

What Is Virtual Autism Therapy?

Virtual autism therapy is live, one-on-one ABA therapy delivered through secure video sessions. A trained ABA therapist works directly with your child — and with you — in real time, using the same evidence-based methods as in-person therapy: positive reinforcement, structured skill-building, and continuous data collection.

It is not pre-recorded videos or an app. Every session is interactive, personalized, and overseen by a certified BCBA who reviews progress data and adjusts your child's plan as they grow.

Areas We Support

What Virtual Sessions Can Help With

  • Communication Skills

    Requesting, labelling, conversation, and functional language — practised live with engaging, screen-friendly activities.

  • Social Skills

    Turn-taking, play skills, emotional recognition, and peer interaction, taught step by step.

  • Time Management Skills

    Teaching children to follow routines, manage transitions, stay on task, and build time-management skills through interactive online activities.

  • Behaviour Support

    We identify why challenging behaviours occur and teach positive alternatives, guiding you through strategies in the moment.

  • Parent Coaching

    Virtual sessions are one of the most effective formats for parent coaching, turning everyday moments into learning opportunities.

Is This Right for You?

Who Is Virtual Therapy Right For?

Online sessions work especially well for families who:

  • Live outside major cities or in communities without local ABA providers

  • Are on a long waitlist and don't want to lose valuable developmental time

  • Want to add extra support between in-home sessions

  • Have children who engage well with screens, games, and interactive activities

  • Prefer the flexibility of scheduling around school, work, and family routines

Best suited children are typically those who can attend to a screen for short periods with a caregiver nearby. Not sure if your child is a good fit? We'll tell you honestly in your free consultation — and recommend in-home therapy if that's the better path.

Our Process

How Virtual Autism Therapy Works

  1. Free Consultation

    We learn about your child, answer your questions, and confirm virtual therapy is the right fit.

  2. Comprehensive Assessment

    A certified BCBA completes a children's assessment online to map your child's strengths, needs, and priority goals.

  3. Live Therapy Sessions

    Your child works one-on-one with a trained ABA therapist through secure video, with activities designed for their age, interests, and attention span.

  4. Progress You Can See

    Data is collected every session, reviewed by the supervising BCBA, and shared with you — so goals evolve as your child does.

All you need is a device with a camera, an internet connection, and a quiet-ish corner of your home. We handle the rest.

Is Virtual Therapy Covered by Funding?

Often, yes.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual Autism Therapy

Is virtual ABA therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
For many goals — parent coaching, communication, social skills, and routine-building — research and our own outcome data show virtual ABA can be highly effective. For children who need intensive hands-on support, we may recommend in-home therapy or a hybrid of both.
What ages does virtual therapy work for?
We support toddlers through young adults. Younger children typically join shorter, play-based sessions with a parent participating; older children and teens can work more independently on social, academic, and life skills.
Do I need to sit with my child during sessions?
For young children, yes — a caregiver nearby helps with materials and practice, and you'll learn strategies as you go. Older children often manage sessions on their own after the first few weeks.
What technology do we need?
A laptop, tablet, or phone with a camera and a stable internet connection. We use a secure video platform and walk you through setup before your first session — no technical skills required.
How long are virtual sessions?
Typically 30–60 minutes, based on your child's age and attention span. Your BCBA recommends the right frequency and duration during the assessment.
Can we combine virtual and in-home therapy?
Yes. Many families use in-home sessions for intensive skill-building and virtual sessions for parent coaching or added consistency. We'll design the mix that fits your child.
