Our primary objective is to enhance the individual’s quality of life through communication training, sensory integration, skill training and the systematic use of positive behavioural intervention. In order to achieve this goal, we focus on working directly with the parents/care givers to provide them with the skills they require to teach and enhance their child’s life.
Areas of assessment will include, but not limited to, general demographic information, medical/health background, strengths and weaknesses, personal areas of interest, learning style and teaching styles, environmental characteristics, sensory regulation, communication characteristics, social and support characteristics, life skills, safety skills, leisure skills, behaviour, emotional understanding and regulation, and the families goals. Depending on the family’s priorities, assessments may also include a thorough Functional Behaviour Assessment and Functional Skills Assessment.
We work collaboratively with all team members involved with the child and family. Team members may include school personnel, childcare workers, day cares, Ministry for Children and Family Development (MCFD), as well as other professionals and agencies.
