Functional Behaviour Change

Be Kind.

first. You just never know what's happening below the surface.

In these crazy times, kids are so vulnerable to the same big emotions we all have, except they've had less time to practice dealing with them.

Don't for a second feel that another person needs to look the same as you to be loved. You might pull yourself together a little more outwardly, but we're all the same, we all have stuff going on below the surface.

Kids are no different. When you see a kid who wears their hoodie or jacket a little too much or long, ask yourself - what can I do to make her/him feel a little safer today?

At Functional Behaviour Change I'm aiming to provide the following services:

1. Parent Coaching - a consultation to support families in handling their most precious commodity and their challenging behaviours. If you have worked with behaviour consultations in the past and hit a brick wall, give me a call, I'll help provide you build a sustainable program using the Functional Behaviour Change Model.
2. BCBA and BCABA Supervision Hours - as I continue to work with wonderful Master's and Undergrad students to achieve the required hours of supervision to support their clients and help ABA rise to solve human problems in every day life and in the special needs community.
3. ABA Team Consultation & Supervision - existing or new teams that provide ABA services to children and youth with autism who are either paying out of pocket, receiving OAP or Passport funding are eligible for this service in either consultation model or supervisory capacity.

4. Coming Soon! Functional Behaviour Change Model of Parent Coaching is becoming a Course that Behaviour Analysts and Associates can earn their Continuing Education Units (CEU's) - more will be released in the spring.

If you are interested in any of the above services please reach out on What's App at any point to make a request for a 15 min consultation with me.

Hello!
Welcome back to this page!
I've had a few facelifts and a change in location - but here I am! In Peterborough - helping spread the good of Behaviour Analysis to the Kawartha Region. Yeah!

Here's a little about the history of how Functional Behaviour Change (Cnage😂) came to be!

After my second daughter was born I decided to try being an entrepreneur and that year I birthed the idea of Behaviour Intervention & Training Autism Services (or BIT Autism Services). It was a great way to stay connected with my own children and still do the work I love to do.

But, along came an opportunity I wouldn't be able to pass up. Working with some of the biggest and most challenging kids in the GTA - at TREADD - it was a great opportunity and I'm so grateful I had it as I was introduced to different ways of applying the same great science, ABA. I kept the doors to BIT Autism Services open for consultation and supervision for BCBA and BCABA students.

After leaving TREADD I again went back to consulting and re-named my company, HCG Behaviour Consulting. I spent several years consulting to different programs and clients and of course kept my love of helping future BCBA and BCABA students with their supervision hours.

A year ago we moved to this great new region! We now live in Peterborough which is such a gem! I am so grateful for the opportunity to connect with new businesses, services and families within this new community and can't wait to get started!

Functional Behaviour Change has been a massive transformation for me, however, I've been holding on to this design for such a long time! I just love the idea of a pyramid and use it in so many of my discussions with parents, professionals and students. The imagery of a pyramid is so transformational in education - I always say you need a strong base like a pyramid to move you in the direction that you want to take in meeting your goals. And so this design that I had in my head with all the letters and shapes surrounded by a pyramid came to be.

Please help me spread the word that Functional Behaviour Change has come to a neighbourhood in the Kawartha Region helping families and professionals in gaining the education that they need to support their loved one's and clients.

If you are interested in learning more or becoming a partner please reach out on What's App at any point to make a request for a 15 min consultation with me.

Change isn't hard to spell - but?!! Sometimes!

Will be fixed soon, hopefully! 7 days apparently is the length of time that FB will wait for me to make a request again! So we wait!😉

Thought this might be worth a share :)

How often do you have to look across your desk at an anxious set of parents and tell them their child has autism? Based on the most recent statistics of 1 in 68, I'm guessing these conversations are quite frequent. I'm also guessing it doesn't get any easier, no matter how many times you have to do…
