From my limited knowledge of Aramaic, I'm guessing the title means "Father in Heaven"

That's correct.

She speaks a Western Assyrian Aramaic language. In the eastern Assyrian dialect, or my dialect, the title would be Abun d'beschmaya. They turn their A's into O's.

Shes not speaking in her dialect though, pretty sure this is the western rite of classical syriac?

It sounds like Turoyo/Suryoyo to me, or western Assyrian.

Classical Syriac didn't use O's a lot. So I doubt it's classical Syriac. And I think classical Syriac was one big dialect, perhaps with just minor regional differences.

I understand where you're coming from but this is what's used in the Western rite of Syriac Christianity, i.e Maronites, Syriac Orthodox, Syriac Catholics. Many Assyrians who speak the Nineveh Plains dialect of Neo-Aramaic belong to these churches and use the Western rite pronunciation in their churches. In the same way the Eastern rite has it's own pronunciation of the Syriac church language which is not intelligible with modern dialects.
