Caregiver Coaching and Consultation might be for you if:

  • Your child is engaging in challenging behaviour and your current strategies are not solving the problem
  • You feel lost when it comes to dealing with challenging behaviours that occur
  • You want to teach a new skill to your child but you don’t know where to start or your current strategies aren’t getting you anywhere

The Process

After learning a bit about you and your child, we will match you with one of our Registered Behaviour Analysts (RBA). Your RBA will meet with you to learn more about the challenges you are facing and will book an assessment. In this assessment, our goal is to understand the challenges and why they are occurring. Once we understand the why, we can build a plan to support your family.  

Your RBA will create a custom plan for your family based on the assessment and all they have learned from you. They will meet with you to review the plan and will listen to your feedback and make adjustments. From there, we begin implementation. Implementation looks a little different for each family. We will work with you to determine the best option for you.
