Dedicated Spaces

Dedicated Spaces

The dedicated space initiative enables external Applied Behaviour Analyst (ABA) practitioners to provide services (Intensive Behaviour Intervention -IBI/ABA programming) within school sites for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) where possible. 

Benefits of dedicated spaces within the school setting

  • Generalization and application of targeted skills from the dedicated space to the school setting;
  • Sharing of students' programming and supportive strategies through greater communication between school staff the ABA practitioner;
  • Transition to school and classroom is gradual, intentional and supported;
  • Transportation to and from the external ABA practitioner from school is not required.

What is the approval process

The approval process to have an external ABA practitioner provide services within a dedicated space, considers the following: 

  • Availability of appropriate space within a student's home-school
  • Student's ABA program is overseen by an external Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA)
  • Targeted skills can be generalized within the school setting

The External practitioner works directly with a Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) ABA Coordinator to work through the approval process. 

How do I request this for my child?

To request that your child be considered to receive services through a dedicated space, call
