Behaviour Consultation

Anchor’s Behaviour Consultative Services are dedicated to providing high quality, evidence-based, and family-focused behaviour consultation. Our behaviour consultants have experience supporting several populations; children and adolescents with developmental disabilities, adults/children with mental health or dual diagnosis and families with complex special needs. Anchor provides tailored, integrated and barrier-free behaviour support programs aimed at assisting individuals and their families to move toward increased independence, skill acquisition and increased knowledge of general behaviour management strategies.

Our behaviour consultative services are focused on outcome based programming delivered through best practises of applied behaviour analysis. Anchor believes that community based behaviour analysis requires a holistic approach not only looking at the disability itself but how maladaptive and/or problematic behaviours effect an individual's environment, family dynamic and overall function.

Our team of board certified behaviour analysts (BCBA) and management team have combined experience of 50+ years of delivering programming to individuals with concurrent disorders, autism, and dual diagnosis. Our approach. Anchor's BCBAs collaborate with other healthcare professionals such as but not limited to; speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychiatrists and social workers to ensure that families and the individuals we serve, can be appropriately supported no matter what their needs are.
