What can a behaviour consultant help with?

A behavioural consultant can:

Help to manage anxiety and stress

Help a family determine where and why a child is having trouble learning a particular skill

Determine the purpose or benefit behind a challenging behaviour, from the child’s point of view, and suggest appropriate alternatives which may serve the same function.

Suggest ways to manage difficult behaviours which are causing stress and/or risk in the family

Suggest changes in the environment to encourage optimal learning

Educate parents in applied behavioural principles

Educate parents and children about social skills, sexuality, executive functioning, problem solving skills and other developmental issues

Suggest alternate teaching methods which may help a child learn new skills or behaviours.
