Question of the month:
What are my options for a therapy schedule at Lansdowne?
ABA (applied behaviour analysis) therapy sessions with Autism Services at Lansdowne Children's Centre in Brantfod range from 1 to 3 hours in length. We offer sessions between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
We understand that school and work schedules can make these hours challenging for some families. After-hours sessions can be arranged, but may result in longer wait time as there are a limited number of these time slots.
