Pediatric Behavioural Services
Empowering Children
At Children's Wellness Centre, we specialize in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to support skill development in children, including those with autism. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to empowering children to reach their full potential and thrive in all aspects of life.
Our clinic is located in Kingston, Ontario. Our Registered Behaviour Analysts (RBA) and Behaviour Therapists offer ABA therapy and consultation to children and caregivers at our clinic, in the community and in family homes. We offer expertise in the areas of building communication, toileting, sleeping, picky eating, social and emotional regulation, cooperation and cognitive skills.
ABA Services
Our Clinical Directors are Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA) and Registered Behaviour Analysts (R.B.A.) in Ontario, with a combined experience of over 25 years working with individuals and families. Our R.B.A.s have supported caregivers and children with building essential life skills in the home, clinic, school and community. They are dedicated to improving the overall wellness and quality of life of as many children & youth as possible. They are regulated through the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario and registered on the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) provider list. Our team offers all types of behaviour support services including in-clinic and community based ABA for children to focus on skill building in the areas of communication, school readiness, cognitive skills, social and emotional regulation, activities of daily living, and pre-academic skills.
At Children’s Wellness Centre, we use the term “caregiver” to ensure we are capturing all different types of families and care providers. All services are designed and supported by our Clinical Directors. Services offered include focused skill building with an R.B.A. (Ont.) providing direct services to the caregivers and children or focused and comprehensive programming delivered by a trained Behaviour Therapist, with clinical supervision provided by one of our R.B.A.'s. Children's Wellness Centre provides an inclusive space for children & caregivers of neurodivergent (e.g., autism, adhd, anxiety etc.) and neurotypical children to learn strategies that will improve the overall wellness of everyone involved.

OUR COMMUNITY
It takes a community to make a difference! We use the term “caregiver” as a way of acknowledging all types of families and people with little ones in their lives. We are here to help all children and all caregivers improve the quality of their lives in the home and community. We look for every opportunity to collaborate with and foster meaningful connections with all caregivers and professionals involved in the child’s life, specifically in the areas of communication, social and emotional regulation, activities of daily living, pre-academic skills, toileting, sleeping and picky eating (which is kind of everyone!). We bring people together by including them in our plans (i.e., grandma/uncle/partners etc. learn the strategies too) and by educating other professionals (i.e., daycare staff/ECE/teacher etc.) on the strategies that are just right for each child.
In addition to including the child’s community in our planning we also provide trainings and workshops for other professionals. We love to share our behaviour analytic strategies and most up to date research with community partners (worldwide!). We welcome collaborations and encourage all professionals to connect with us to help build a strong community for those in need of support.
