About this service
The goal of the program is to enhance the childs quality of life through communication, sensory integration, skill development, and positive behavioral strategies.
A behavioral strategist works with children and their families to:
- Better understand why the child is presenting with challenging behaviors
- Identify and explain the communicative function underlying the childs behavior
- Implement support and teaching strategies to shape more positive behaviors from the child
- Advocate with school and community resources about the support needs of the child
- Liaise with school and community professionals in developing a wraparound approach that focuses on positively reducing behavioral challenges
The strategist works closely with Child and Youth Workers and other professional disciplines (SLP, Education, OT, PT) to implement and support behavioral plans and goals.
