Behavioural Concerns about Your Child

There are a variety of reasons why a child might behave a certain way and at Canoe Therapy, our children’s Behavioural Therapists believe that it’s our job to identify what might cause specific behaviours in your child. Our Behavioural Therapists identify and understand why your child exhibits certain behaviours and help your child develop and learn desired behaviours using a consistent approach that covers multiple aspects of their life.

Common Behavioural-related Concerns

Indications of a behavior-related pediatric concern can include difficulties or traits associated with:

Daily Living Skills
Following Instruction
Social and Academic Strategies
Independence

We use evidence-based strategies to help your child develop skills that can benefit them in home, school, and social settings. For example, we will work to help your child master skills such as:

Toileting
Eating
Sleeping
Following instructions
School readiness skills
Social skills
Attending skills, like eye contact and posture, and more
Life skills

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)

We also provide a therapy treatment called the Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) that is a therapy treatment for children having difficulty developing social skills and other problems. Scientifically proven to develop lasting, positive changes in individuals with autism, we focus on improving specific behaviours such as social skills, communication, reading and academics as well as adaptive learning skills such as fine motor dexterity, hygiene, grooming, domestic capabilities, punctuality and job competence.
