Who we are
Behaviour Learning Innovations, Inc., recognizes the importance of collaboration to provide engaging, individualized, and compassionate behavioural treatment to children, youth, and families. We strive to utilize the most effective evidence-based strategies and teaching methodologies based on Applied Behaviour Analysis principles.
We are committed to providing accessible behavioural treatment services in Northern Ontario. We offer ABA services to children and youth 2-18 years of age with developmental disabilities, autism, and complex care needs in various settings, including home, school, and community. We are dedicated to achieving meaningful and lasting change that improves the lives of the children and youth we serve.
A Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) conducts the behaviour assessment, develops, and clinically oversees all behaviour treatment plans. All services ensure ethical compliance and ongoing monitoring in delivering quality ABA services.
Child & Youth Services
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Treatment (1:1)
ABA uses a scientific approach to learning and motivation to teach new skills. It employs evidence-based strategies and interventions to support your child or youth's development for socially significant change. ABA treatment targets 1-3 developmental domains to teach skills and reduce interfering behaviours such as communication, toileting, sleeping, social skills, self-regulation, academics, etc.
Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (1:1)
Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI) is an evidence-based treatment approach based on the principles of ABA. This comprehensive treatment approach focuses on foundational skills, including communication, developing play and social skills, school readiness, self-help skills, and self-regulation skills in managing interfering or challenging behaviours. EIBI uses curricular-based assessments such as the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills - Revised (ABLLS-R) or Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) to identify curriculum learning goals. This service model follows a 6-month service plan for a minimum of 20 hours per week. Research outcomes have demonstrated that children age 6 and under have more significant gains across learning domains consistent with the development of same-age peers.
Challenging Behaviour Assessment and Treatment
A Functional Behaviour Assessment focuses on determining the function of the behaviour or the "Why" a child or youth may exhibit interfering or challenging behaviours. This assessment will identify environmental variables that influence the occurrence of behaviours. It will also identify skills your child or youth may require to learn by replacing interfering/challenging behaviours with adaptive skills to prevent them from occurring.
This service will provide intensive behaviour support and may incorporate safety procedures to stabilize and minimize risks of harm to self and others in the environment. It will address behaviours that interfere with learning or limit access to participating in positive social opportunities.
Behaviours targeted for this service could include but are not limited to:
-
Self-injury
-
Aggression
-
Restricted Diet (limited or selective food intake)
-
Disruptive Sleep
-
Repetitive and Stereotyped Behaviours
-
Severe, Ridgid Routines
-
Elopement
Parent Coaching and Consultations
Our Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) is available to provide direct coaching one-to-one with parents and caregivers to assess your child's skills and needs to develop goals. Parent coaching is also available for ongoing support to empower parents to implement strategies of current or previous behaviour treatment plans.
This service offers training in ABA principles on using ABA strategies to teach new skills and manage non-severe challenging behaviours. Consultation services are available to families, schools, and community agencies.
