This 10-week program for parents and caregivers of children up to 12 years of age teaches positive, proactive strategies to manage behaviours in a constructive way, encourage your child’s development, and cope with difficult situations.  Recommended for parents and caregivers new to their child’s diagnosis.

Once you have identified why your child might be engaging in interfering behaviours, it’s important to be able to provide a better way for them to achieve that same need or desire. In this workshop, you will learn how to respond to your child’s interfering behaviour and find some appropriate replacement behaviours to teach instead. This workshop is for families who have completed “Understanding Interfering Behaviour – Where to Start” and have a good understanding of their child’s interfering behavior, but want to know more about how best to support them to reduce this behaviour.

Does your child engage in behaviours that interfere with their participation or independence within their everyday life? Certain behaviours can be challenging to manage, like severe tantrums or aggressing towards others. This workshop will teach you the ABCs of behaviour and how to identify the ‘why’ behind your child engaging in these behaviours. We will also help you to be able to define what these interfering behaviours look like and figure out in what situations or environments these behaviours are most likely to occur. This workshop is for families who have already attended the “Introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis” workshop and want to understand more about their child’s interfering behaviour. This workshop may be especially useful for those families of children with a new Autism diagnosis

This group provides a virtual platform for your child to connect and socialize with their peers. Together with our Autism Therapists, your child will chat about and share their favourite video games while playing virtual games with friends.

Does your child get upset when you tell them “No!”? This workshop provides parents and caregivers with the skills to teach your child to stay calm when they are told “No!” or that they have to wait. This workshop is facilitated by a Behaviour Therapist who is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst.
