This model includes designing goal plans and overseeing your child’s ABA program, implemented by behaviour interventionists (BIs) and parents in the home and other relevant community settings for your child (day care, preschool, elementary school, camps, recreation lessons, etc.). All training for BIs, along with ongoing supervision to monitor progress and maximize potential growth, is provided. Parents are always part of home programs as they are the most important people in their child’s life. Parent coaching is included in this model and is customized to the family’s needs and priorities to ensure children are learning and using their new skills when they need it most – in their daily life.

​

Services are provided in person for families in Surrey/Langley and remotely for the rest of the province.

This option is for families who would wish to be the main agents of change in skill building and challenging behaviour. Goal plans will be designed for parents to implement. Frequency of coaching sessions depends on the nature of goals. An individualized plan will be put together based on collaboration with the family. Parent coaching sessions are offered remotely or in home for families in Surrey/Langley.
