OUR SERVICES
Children's Wellness Centre provides professional support and guidance to caregivers and children in the community, at our clinic (Kingston, Ont.) and in family homes. Our services are rooted in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and we offer expertise in the areas of toileting, sleeping, picky eating, communication & cooperation (e.g., skill building for cooperation in the home or school, social communication, social skills, school readiness, daily living skills etc.). Our Clinical Directors are Registered Behaviour Analysts (R.B.A.) in Ontario and Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA), with a combined experience of over 20 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 Psychologist and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario and registered on the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) provider list. With extensive experience working with autistic individuals and individuals with comorbid diagnosis, our team will help you learn, grow and thrive with the children in your life, in ways that will improve overall wellness.
At Children’s Wellness Centre, we focus on building skills utilizing the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) in the areas of: toileting, sleeping, picky eating, play and communication and cooperation. 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 the 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.
SERVICE STRUCTURE
Each service delivered is unique to the caregiver and child. Every plan is custom designed by our R.B.A.s and based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to support individualized goals. At Children's Wellness Centre we believe caregiver collaboration is key to achieving all goals!
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 toileting, sleeping, picky eating, play & communication and cooperation (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.
