My ABAKiS Our Story

Two fathers, one mission.

myABAKiS was founded by two dads with autistic sons. Our goal – our vision – was to create a platform so simple to use that ABA teams would be setup for success, without relying on individual heroics to hold it all together.

One prognosis, two outcomes.

“You need to accept that your son will likely never attend a regular classroom; likely require care for his entire life; and never be able to live independently.”

This shared prognosis from government officials brought the two founders of myABAKiS together, inspired to change this story for their sons. David and Erik decided to use ABA – Applied Behaviour Analysis, a rigorous, science-based form of early intervention proven to be effective for autistic children – to achieve this.

This should be a story that showcases the dramatic success of ABA. But this story isn’t that simple. You see, despite starting with ABA, our sons had two very different paths ahead of them.

For one, ABA worked. He graduated with honours and now as a young man lives independently in a studio apartment, successfully pursuing a career in culinary arts. For the other, ABA was not given the tools it needed to succeed, resulting in a more turbulent set of challenges.

ABA saved one child and failed another. Why?

The difference was in the data. Spending hours per week, often late into the night, transcribing hand-written notes into consistent and usable data, allowed one Behaviour Consultant (what are now commonly called BCBAs) to stay on top of things, make important course corrections, and coordinate effectively with schools. A large part of that success came from pure luck – and a stickler for consistency who insisted on data being collated and presented in a very specific way. It also came at a huge personal cost.

For an ABA program to work, it needs to be overseen by a professional armed with timely and consistent data. And that data needs to be transparent and accessible to everyone connected with the child.

There are other ABA data collection systems out there, but many are so complex or unreliable that users give up in frustration.

"Keeping it Simple" is in the name.

At myABAKiS, simplicity is at the heart of everything we do. Our name itself is a testament to our commitment to "Keeping it Simple." By focusing on the real-world needs of clients and users, Erik and David have crafted a program that cuts through the complexity, making it straightforward for professionals and families to access the resources they need.

Thank you for trusting myABAKiS. We are grateful for the opportunity to support this important work and look forward to continuing this journey together.
