“Our three-year-old son is on the autism spectrum. He is non-verbal and prior to starting therapy had many tantrums and would not engage with us. He had no way to communicate his needs except for by taking our hand to the object he wanted and if that didn’t work, he would have a major meltdown.
We ended up finding The Behaviour Team in the summer of 2018 and after completing an assessment, we registered our son for 1 on 1 behaviour therapy. They started by getting him interested in learning and then taught him how to use PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). He can distinguish between over 20 pictures and now has a way to communicate with us. We can see his wonderful personality shining through and how smart he is – he just needed to be taught in a way that made sense to him. We are shocked at his progress and so incredibly thankful for The Behaviour Team. They are extremely dedicated and passionate about helping children and their families – and are amazing at it. Thanks to this wonderful team, we have such great hope and excitement for our son’s future. They have truly changed our lives in the most positive way. ”
