Behaviour Support
What is Behaviour Support?
If your child is struggling from day to day to manage their big feelings, and begin to release these through aggressive verbal and physical outbursts, then your child could benefit from behaviour support.
Behaviour support is not for 'bold children'. Likewise, it is not just for children with additional needs. Many families experience behavioural issues in their home, and remain at a loss as to how best to approach these behavioural difficulties and teach to overcome these challenges.
Behaviour support involves assessing each family situation and child individually, and based on numerous observations and data collection, a behaviour support plan is designed and carried out at home by parents under BCBA supervision.
It's really important to recognise that your child's behavioural difficulties are not a reflection on you, nor are they a reflection on your parenting. You are here reading this, in order to help support your child and your family. Your child has a great parent, but your child might not have all the right skills that they need in order to cope and manage themselves. This is where I can help.
