Welcome to Spectrum Intervention Group
Spectrum, is an Ottawa based centre that provides therapy to individuals with autism (ASD). Our approach uses the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and combines intensive behaviour intervention (IBI) with natural environment teaching (NET). We provide both home based and centre based services.
Spectrum was the first private ABA centre in Ottawa, and has been operating for over 8 years and has served hundreds of children since it's founding. Spectrum is proud to have two BCBAs on staff as well as to have numerous staff members working toward national certification.
