Behaviour Consultation

This program is designed to give you and your family the tools and coaching needed to help your child achieve up to two specific learning goals. Using ABA principles, Behavior Consultations facilitate caregiver training and support through the teaching of individualized, behavior-based strategies. They also provide a range of educational and community-based resources that families can use to achieve specific goals.

Our clinicians work directly with you, coaching you on specific behavior strategies. Consultations will be provided by a Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA) and/or a Supervised Senior Therapist working toward becoming an RBA.
