What We Do

We are a team of Behaviour Therapists primarily working with mediators (individuals, parents, teachers, workers etc.) to develop behavioural strategies to assist our identified clients to learn the behaviours and skills necessary for adapting to community life.  When appropriate, the client may act as their own mediator. Together,the client, mediator, and assigned therapist will decide which of the above services best suits the client and mediator’s needs.
