This brief targeted consultation aims to support parents and schools for children who have an autism diagnosis and have needs at school. The goals are to assist in the child’s frequency and quality of participation at school (e.g., increasing time that child is at school, reduction of problem behaviours, improvement of social skills, etc.). This service consists of a 1-hour consultation with the parents and a 1-hour consultation with the school team, teacher, or education assistant to determine the undesired behaviour to target, followed by a 1-hour observation of the child at school at specific times when the undesired behaviour is likely to occur.
A brief targeted behaviour treatment plan will then be created and reviewed with the teacher/education assistant. Then, the ABA consultant will meet with the teaching staff for 3, 1-hour consultations over the following weeks to review and recalibrate the targeted treatment plan as needed.
* All preparation, planning, and travel time to and from the school is included
**Please Note - In-School sessions will depend on coordination with and prior approval from the child's school.
