BEHAVIOUR ASSESSMENT​​

We help families that are struggling with challenging behaviours such as;

• aggression

• property destruction

• verbal abuse

• self-injury

• poor school behaviour

• drug or alcohol use 

• family conflict and

• non-compliant behaviours

For individuals with developmental disabilities and ASD, these behaviours can severely inhibit one's ability to be independent and participate in meaningful community-based activities.

For teens, these behaviours may lead to legal troubles, suspensions from school, and limited opportunities after high school.  

These behaviours can be reduced with proper assessment and behaviour intervention. 

BEHAVIOUR CONSULTATION

Following the completion of a behaviour assessment, we help families and support staff implement interventions to decrease challenging behaviours and improve quality of life.
