Behaviour Support Program

The purpose of the behaviour support program (BSP) is to provide assessment and treatment of behaviour challenges and associated social emotional regulation. These services serve to increase quality of life and maximize success in both preschool/school and relationships/activities outside of learning centres. Behaviour support sets a foundation for maximizing future occupational and community participation. Children with identified behavioural challenges often struggle to connect with peers and accept adult instruction. They can be aggressive (hitting, biting), self-injurious, compulsive with food, and sometimes non-compliant. These struggles can in turn lead to difficulty with attachment and a sense of belonging. The BSP provides individualized intervention plans for these children. Equally important however, is the training aspect of the program. The services provide one to one and group family training not only to parents but also to extended family (grandparents, older siblings) and other caregivers. The program works in partnership with child care centres, preschools, schools, counsellors, mental health programs, paediatricians and other clinicians to deliver integrated care.

All children and families are eligible for the program
