Clinical Supervisor. Your child’s clinical supervisor is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst® who analyzes your child’s specific behaviours and learning habits to create a comprehensive treatment program that meets your child’s specific needs in any area of their life. For example, the team can work on increasing functional and prosocial behaviours while reducing behaviours that are harmful or interfere with learning. For privately funded clients, a clinical supervisor is not required, however one can be made available.

Supervising Therapist. Your child’s supervising therapist is a Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analyst® or a highly trained behavioural consultant with a master’s degree in education or related field. Supervising therapists oversee your child’s treatment program, provide parent training, monitor progress, supervise and train behaviour therapists, and act as a clinical liaison, at the request of the parents, with community agencies/schools.

Behaviour Therapist(s). Your child’s behaviour therapists work directly with your child to provide direct therapy as guided by the supervising therapist and clinical supervisor. They hold an Autism and Behavioural Sciences Diploma and/or a degree/diploma in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and are either Registered Behaviour Technicians (RBTs) or are trained to become RBTs.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) specialize in your child’s communication needs, such as speech delays and disorders, language delays, fluency delays (for example stuttering), voice and resonance, swallowing and feeding disorders, cognitive- communicative disorders, and pre-literacy and literacy skills.

Occupational Therapists (OT) can help your child with their gross motor and fine motor needs. OTs assess your child for things such as physical abilities, balance and coordination, mental abilities such as memory, coping strategies and organizational skills. OTs also focus on helping teach daily life skills to individuals with autism.
