Most families have their first session within one to three weeks of getting in touch. Availability varies by centre and by service — some have space right now, others have a short wait — so book a consultation and we’ll tell you exactly what’s open at Etobicoke, Scarborough or Hamilton. On that call we’ll talk through what your child needs, book the assessment and walk you through your funding.

- Our hourly rate includes 1:1 direct ABA sessions with an Instructor Therapist, and oversight from a Clinical Supervisor, or Supervised Therapist, as well as assessments, reports, and report review meetings.
- If applicable, the rate also includes consultation and meetings with other professionals (such as SLPs, OTs, and ABA consultants), which are pre-arranged with parents before scheduling.
- Instructor Therapist Cancellation: AlphaBee shall make every effort to coordinate a replacement for that session with an Instructor Therapist. If the parents choose not to have a replacement, the sessions will be treated as cancelled by parents and billed accordingly. If AlphaBee is unable to find a replacement therapist, that session will not be billed.
- Parent Cancellations: If Parents cancel a session with less than 24 hours’ notice: session will be billed according to regular billing, regardless of the reason for being absent. If a parent cancels with more than 24 hours’ notice the session will not be billed, up to 2 per month. Regular billing will apply beyond two cancelled non-billable sessions (with more than 24 hours’ notice) within one calendar month.
Families may opt to provide their OAP Core Clinical Funding directly to AlphaBee and receive monthly paid Invoice statements. Alternately, families may opt to provide a deposit and pay monthly Invoices (see deposit below).
DEPOSIT
Families pay a deposit 10 days before services start, equal to one month’s service (hours/week x hourly rate x 4.3333).
Monthly invoices are sent on the 1st of the following month, due by the 5th. Example: November’s invoice sent December 1st, due December 5th.
The deposit is held separately and applied to the last month’s invoice. After the final month, parents receive a final invoice and may owe additional payment or receive a refund based on the balance.
