Services
We now offer the services below! These services are fit to your needs and our primary goal is to help our community and be part of the solution to challenges that individuals and families face.
Please reach out to connect with us at cbs@sl.on.ca if you have questions or would like to discuss service options.
One-to-One Services
This service is for children, youth, or adults who identify as neurodiverse, neurotypical, or as having a developmental disability, who need individual support.
We start with a discussion and custom assessment based off current needs or goals. Then we work with you and others (e.g., families, caregivers, etc.) to create an individualized plan to achieve these goals. We provide this service directly on a one-to-one basis; however, it may be appropriate to include others in the process (e.g., family members, other support people etc.). We are flexible with where this service should occur (in centre, home, other) depending on a number of factors.
*Please note, there are many goals that are appropriate for this type of service but it may not be a good fit for everyone. If you have questions or concerns, we would like to connect with you to discuss if this service is a good fit for you.
Examples of Common Goals:
Daily Living Skills (e.g., toilet training, tooth-brushing, routines, independence, accessing community resources, laundry, cooking meals, etc.) |
Job and Vocation Preparation (e.g., interviews, preparing for work settings, having conversations at work etc.) |
Challenging Behaviour (e.g., aggression, self-injury, property destruction, etc.) |
Social Skills (e.g., social interactions with peers, how to make and maintain friendships, how to have a conversation, creating healthy boundaries, etc.) |
Communication (e.g., focus on how to communicate with others, how to use an AAC system, functional communication, language development, etc.) |
Adaptability, Advocacy and Resilience (e.g., managing challenges in one’s lives, working on flexibility and self-advocacy skills, etc.) |
Executive Functioning (e.g., issues with transitions, task initiation, time management, flexible thinking, emotion regulation, organization, etc.). |

Caregiver Training
In this service, we provide coaching to parents, caregivers, support staff or anyone who needs support to help someone else in their care. Caregiver training is often a recommended part of 1:1 service but can also occur separately. The content of training is based off your needs as a caregiver, the person/people in your care, and may be different on a case-by-case basis.
We start with a discussion to establish priorities and goals and then complete a custom assessment that informs what the coaching will be. From the assessment, we create a custom training that gives you tools to provide better support to your loved one(s). We can discuss where it makes sense for this service to occur (e.g., home, CBS, other). Over time, we will help you make decisions about how you provide support for effective and lasting change.
Examples of Common Goals:
Changing Your Living Space and Reinforcement (e.g., how to change your setup at home to build success, how to get your loved one motivated, house reinforcement plans etc.) |
Life Skills and Building Independence (e.g., how to help someone access the community, how to build independence throughout the day etc.) |
Communication (e.g., how to use existing communication systems (e.g., PECS, ProLoquo2go, other), how to find and create opportunities for communication throughout the day, how to build communication skills directly etc.) |
Managing Challenging Behaviour (e.g., how to avoid and de-escalate a crisis, how to set limits, how to build skills to reduce problem behaviour, how to follow specific plans etc.) |
