My Story
I am Chelsey Brooks, owner of Ohana IBI/ABA Services and I'm passionate about providing a positive impact in the lives of children.
My passion for the benefits of IBI & ABA therapy began in 2012 while working in a group home setting. I worked with older children who did not have the opportunity to receive IBI/ABA therapy. For a person on the autism spectrum, housing and community living can be challenging. I realized quickly how different their lives could have been had they been introduced to early developmental and social therapies.
In 2014 I was introduced to IBI & ABA therapy. I began working with the treatment of young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Together with their parents, teachers and caregivers providing specific one on one Autism Therapies. These therapies have a positive impact on the physical, emotional, intellectual and social developments of children diagnosed with ASD. I saw first hand the improvements this therapy could make in a childs development.
In 2017 I decided to focus 100% of my career on providing IBI & ABA therapy. In 2019 I made the decision to start my own agency due to the needs and minimal support present in the Durham Region. I work with families to improve skills they see as a priority in addition to skills dictated by the specific programming. I have added my values and passion into this agency and all children and families that I work with. Client well being is my number one priority, and I go above and beyond to provide treatment tailored to fit the needs of each individual child.
