Intellectual Disability Support Services

 

Funded Programs for Children, Youth and Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

Our Consultative Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy services assist children, youth and adults, with a diagnosis of intellectual disability, to improve their social awareness and develop alternatives for challenging behaviour. Treatment goals are established collaboratively with the individual and/or caregivers to promote growth, independence, and an improved quality of life. Trained clinicians conduct functional assessments, develop individualized behaviour plans using evidence-based intervention strategies, and provide training to the individual’s support system.

  • All services are supervised by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst® (BCBA®) and consultation with a Clinical Psychologist as needed

  • All services are provided by qualified and experienced professionals

  • Additional consultation from other professionals (e.g., BCBA-D™, Speech-Language Pathologist, and/or Occupational Therapist) is also available upon parent or caregiver request subject to fees.

  • Includes parent/caregiver training to teach skills and strategies for successful participation in school and community and generalization of skills across environments

  • Services can occur in the home, centre, community or a combination of these locations
