Behaviour Consultation

Behaviour Consultation Services is a service delivery model that works collaboratively with families of children and youth who are autistic, have ADHD, or identify as neurodivergent. These services are designed to support individualized learning goals. This service is typically delivered in the client’s home and/or community settings to promote meaningful, real-world skill development.

Through behaviour consultation, caregivers receive coaching and support to implement individualized, evidence- and behaviour-based strategies. Families are also connected with educational and community resources to help support their child or youth in achieving their unique goals.

This service is appropriate for families seeking support with a focused number of learning or behaviour goals (typically up to two goal areas).
