Applied Behavior Analysis is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and changing behavior. It uses empirically based strategies and play-based therapy to focus on socially important goals for children at risk or diagnosed with autism, developmental disorders or intellectual disabilities. It’s often used to help develop foundational skills and/or reduce challenging behaviors. Behavior Analysis can target communication skills, social skills, daily living skills, academic skills, school-preparedness, picky eating, play/ leisure skills and of course, behavior management!

Psychotherapy and Mental Health Counselling are collaborative and evidence-based approaches to mental health that integrates various therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs. Through talk therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and expressive therapies like art and play therapy, clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. It helps individuals manage stress, improve relationships, cope with challenges, and enhance overall well-being, fostering self-awareness and resilience for a more fulfilling life.

The Social Thinking programs help kids understand themselves and others. This enables them to enhance their social navigation, foster relationships, and boost their performance both at school and within their home environment. These unique tools break down complex social concepts (like perspective taking) into understandable and doable parts that can be applied in any setting. Strategies from this program can help individuals with ADHD, social communication differences, social anxiety, autism, other social, emotional, and cognitive learning differences (with or without diagnoses).

Children with an awkward or immature grasp for their age; have messy or slow coloring or writing skills and may fatigue easily during a typing class for example. We can support improving these weaker areas of difficulty with hand strength, coordination, or manipulation. Our therapist have all been trained in the Handwriting without Tears Certificate Program. Developed from years of research and innovation, HWT provides multi-sensory strategies for early writing that address all styles of learning. 

Feeding Therapy "FoodSchool" is based on the SOS Approach to Feeding. The SOS Approach stands for Sequential-Oral-Sensory because there are major components of the program. For instance, there are 6 major steps to eating- eating does not begin at the mouth! First, we must tolerate the physical presence or the look of the food. This might even include just being in the same room as the food. Then, perhaps, we can interact with the food without directly touching the food to our skin, maybe by using a kitchen utensil like a mini food chopper or a fork. Next, our body needs to process and manage the smell or odor of food.  The play then expands to include touching the food with your fingers, hands, body, and mouth. Think about that baby first learning to eat! Tasting comes next, which might look like quickly poking the food with the tip of your tongue, or maybe putting the food in your mouth, and spitting it out. Finally, we are ready to practice chewing and swallowing. (SOSApproachtoFeeding)
