What you can expect
How our team supports your family
Our highly-skilled, passionate Behaviour Therapists and BCBAs work hard to provide the best possible outcomes for your child.
​
Home-based therapy allows our therapists to provide therapy in the comfort of your home. We offer therapy for newly diagnosed and young children, school-age children, adolescents and young adults.
​
Therapy hours can range from 1-30 hours per week, depending on the needs of your child. Therapy will focus on skill acquisition and management of challenging behaviours.
We use a combination of natural environment teaching (NET), incidental teaching, and structured teaching methods.
​
Therapy goals are developed based on skills assessments, behavioural assessments, and family input. These goals may include Functional Communication, Pre-academic Skills, Imitation Skills, Self-Help Skills, Social Skills, Academic Supports, and/or Reduction of Unwanted Behaviours.
