Welcome!

Welcome to Kids First Behaviour Services!!

When we created Kids First Behaviour Services, we had to think about what was going to make us different. Parents have endless choice of ABA and IBI providers in York Region, many of which are fantastic and highly skilled practitioners. With so many companies and people to choose from, how will families choose the provider that best suits them? Please see below for some of our core beliefs and values. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to contact us at info@kidsfirstbehaviour.ca to set up a no-pressure discussion of your child's needs! 

1. We are keeping our business small on purpose: Many companies have a very large service region which can lead to difficulty getting staff, management, and families in one place when needed. By only taking on a limited amount of families at a time, we make sure that everyone (including our Clinical Director & Owner) have the time available to directly connect with families on a regular basis. We encourage families and staff to keep in close contact, and no question is ever too small. 

2. We will always see your child as a child first. Yes, your child may have a diagnosis and we may ask you questions about it in order to better serve your child. However, we are primarily concerned with what makes your child unique. What are his or her interests, preferences, abilities, needs. A diagnosis is only a small part of what makes your child themselves. 

3. We believe in using science to accomplish our skill development and behavioural goals. ABA has a huge body of research supporting it's efficacy for many goals. We refer to that literature and only use techniques that have been rigorously tested. We will also help families look at the science behind any techniques that they are considering. 

4. We believe that ABA is a super-power and can be incorporated into every household. Many ABA techniques are techniques that you may already be using, but don't know it. One of our goals is to make ABA accessible to an average parent who may need some new strategies for use with their own children. We offer low-cost workshop options to help share these techniques with individuals who may not be able to attend a full consultation session.
