OBSS offers two distinct training streams โ one designed for families, one for professionals. Both are grounded in the same evidence-based ABA principles used in our clinical programs.
Empowering parents to become active participants in their child's development using proven ABA strategies โ at home, in the community, and at school.
Equipping teachers, support workers, therapists, and healthcare professionals with the clinical skills to support individuals with autism effectively and ethically.
All OBSS training programs are designed and delivered by BACB-certified Behavior Analysts. Our curriculum is practical, interactive, and immediately applicable.
Parents learn to apply the same evidence-based ABA techniques used in clinic โ for managing behaviour, building communication, supporting daily routines, and reinforcing therapy skills at home.
Comprehensive RBT Task List-aligned preparation for professionals seeking BACB certification. Covers measurement, skill acquisition, behaviour reduction, documentation, and professional conduct.
Practical training in understanding the function of behaviour, implementing proactive strategies, de-escalation techniques, and managing challenging behaviours safely and ethically.
Training in supporting functional communication for non-verbal and minimally verbal children, including AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tools, PECS, and naturalistic language teaching strategies.
Designed for teachers, EAs, and school staff. Covers implementing ABA principles in the classroom, supporting IEP goals, managing group behaviour, and fostering inclusion for students with autism.
Learn how to collect accurate behavioural data, track progress toward goals, and use data to make informed decisions โ a critical skill for both parents and professionals involved in ABA programmes.
Children with autism make the fastest progress when the strategies used in therapy are consistently reinforced at home. Our parent training programme is built on this principle โ turning caregivers into confident, skilled partners in their child's development.
Research from Autism Speaks confirms that parent-implemented ABA strategies significantly improve child outcomes across communication, behaviour, and independence.
Our parent training sessions cover practical ABA techniques, positive reinforcement strategies, communication support, behaviour management at home, and how to generalise skills your child is learning in therapy into everyday life.
For families who prefer it, our therapists can deliver training directly in your home environment โ the most effective setting for learning strategies you'll use every day.
Book Parent Training โOur professional training is designed for teachers, educational assistants, behaviour therapists, social workers, healthcare professionals, and anyone who supports individuals with autism in a professional capacity.
All professional training at OBSS is aligned with the Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) Task List published by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Our instructors are certified BCBAs with extensive clinical experience.
Training is available in-person across Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, and the GTA, as well as virtually for teams and individuals across Ontario. Group bookings for organisations and school boards are available upon request.
