ASD Funded Services

Behaviour programming for children and youth with complex behaviour.

• Individual programs are developed using current evidence-based best practices for individuals with complex developmental challenges. 

• Consultants work in partnership with parents/caregivers, school and community team members to complete a Functional Behaviour Assessment and develop and implement a Comprehensive Behaviour Plan. 

• Consultants focus on skills development, believing that challenging behaviour is most often the result of lagging or missing skills. 

• Consultants focus on strengthening the skills of individuals but also the skills of the adults in the child’s circle. 

• Plans are reviewed and adjusted as individuals develop skills and priorities change. • All approaches and strategies are positive, proactive and strength-based interventions.

• Respectful relationships are core to all work on behalf of individuals and families. • This service is often provided in an individual’s environment and community, with scheduling dependent on the needs of the individual being served. 

Behaviour support, Emotion regulation skills, Life Skills, Social Skills, Employment Skills and Mentorship.

• Relationship-based interventions and skill development. 

• Person-centred, one-to-one interventions and activities work towards mutually agreed-upon goals.

• Services are delivered on a flexible timetable in various locations pertinent to an individual’s interests and goals. 

• Small groups of children and youth of similar ages with shared interests, strengths, and challenges. 

• All groups are facilitated by qualified staff. 

• Groups are activity-based with a Social Competency curriculum embedded in all activities. 

• Many group activities follow a Relationship Development Intervention approach with a goal of authentic friendships developing within the group.
