Behaviour consultants offer one-to-one support and specialized programming.
The services are individualized and responsive to the needs of children, youth and adults with and without autism and other intellectual disabilities. The team works together with families and other members of the support team to increase an individual’s independence across a variety of home, school and community settings. The following program streams are offered:
- Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention (0-6 years): Supports children
with autism and/or an intellectual disability. Provides assessments and comprehensive planning services.
- Positive Behaviour Support for Children and Youth (6-18 years): This service is offered to families with school-aged children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other intellectual disabilities. Consultants use a family-centered approach and a systematic application of principles of behaviour to develop a Positive Behaviour Support Plan to teach new skills and address problem behaviours in a variety of settings.
- Behaviour Support for Adults (19 years +): This service is offered to adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other intellectual disabilities. Consultants work in partnership with the family and other service providers to systematically teach new skills and address problem behaviours. The primary goal is to ensure successful inclusion of the individual in the home and community and durable positive change in their quality of life.
- Employment Skills Training (14-18 years): PosAbilities Employment Service assists individuals with diverse abilities to prepare for, secure and maintain competitive employment. They will help match your skills and interests with paid employment opportunities and provide you with on-the-job training and support.
