Educational Services JK-Grade 6

We work with children who benefit from additional support outside of school. We customize the learning environment and strategies to meet the unique needs of every child. We are certified teachers who know that no two children learn the same way. We pride ourselves on being able to assist every child we work with to thrive and reach their fullest potential.

We also provide parental support and strategies for ways parents can support their son/daughter at home.

We work hard to ensure there is a positive, collaborative team approach between us, home and school. We provide detailed notes after each session so parents are always aware of areas of strength and weakness.

Behavioural Intervention/Therapy

We have years of experience developing and implementing behavioural programs for individuals aged 2-26. We provide support for families who have children with behavioural and/or social/emotional needs. We have experience working with individuals who have autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, self injurious behaviour, oppositional defiant disorder, etc...

At ACB Learning, we strive to work with parents to develop strategies and coping mechanisms that work for the child, as well as for the family. We have worked collaboratively with home and school to promote consistency.

Through a variety of approaches, we pride ourselves on being able to build rapport with the individual and work towards customizing a program for each client. We have worked in collaboration with other professionals (psychologists, doctors, school resource team).

Behavioural therapy is sometimes only needed on a short-term basis, however, may also be necessary for an extended period of time (depending on the situation.)

Effective approaches of behavioural therapy include but are not limited to: role playing activities, self-reflection, positive reinforcement systems, social skill development, modeling/coaching, parental coaching, and visual supports, etc...

Small Group Classes

Small Group Classes focus on core elementary school subjects - Language Arts, Math and Science/STEAM. Classes adhere to the Ontario Curriculum and are currently being offered for students in grades 1 - 6.

Group Tutoring

Group tutoring is available and can be ideal for students who thrive in a small ratio setting with the benefits of learning alongside peers. Group tutoring provides opportunities for collaboration, teamwork and development of interpersonal skills. An emphasis is also placed on working towards achieving individual academic goals.

1:1 Support

1:1 instruction can be beneficial as students are able to receive undivided attention and the opportunity to focus on specific areas unique to their learning needs. A strong emphasis is placed on building self-esteem, self-confidence and strong work habits. In a 1:1 environment, all programs are customizable to meet the needs of each individual student.

Social Groups

Our social groups are geared towards chilldren on the spectrum and/or for any children who would benefit from low ratio/small group interaction. We currently have openings for several age groups. We pride ourselves on being able to provide services in a fun, yet safe and structured environment.

We have weekly themes and work towards both individual and group goals. We send out progress notes, pictures and keep open lines of communication at all times. We have 3 age groups and opportunities:
