About Open Door Behaviour Consulting

Our Mission

At Open Door Behaviour Consulting, our mission is to help clients thrive. We do this by providing comprehensive consulting services that are tailored to the unique needs of each client. We are committed to a collaborative, person-centred approach to support each individual and their needs. We are based in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island BC, and provide services to this community as well as surrounding areas in Central Vancouver Island. We also provide online services through Zoom Telehealth to those in further communities.

Through the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), we create an individualized program to help enhance the identified and agreed upon skills and abilities of each individual with their input as often as possible.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services at Open Door Behaviour Consulting, which vary as much as our clients. However some common areas we focus on in our services are:

-Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): these include building independence and fluency in areas such as dressing/undressing, hygiene routines such as bathing, brushing teeth, and toileting, eating, and food preparation.

-Emotional Regulation: this can include teaching calming tools, functional communication, and teaching safer, less disruptive options to get their needs met to replace current behaviours.

-Language Skills: these include using vocal language, apps such as TouchChat, sign language, and picture exchange symbols (PECS) to communicate more effectively. We are also happy to work with an SLP, if one is involved, to help with success in these areas.

-Play and Social Skills: including initiating and maintaining positive relationships, attending to the emotions of others and seeing others' perspectives, to name a few.

-Fine and Gross Motor Skills: including manipulating small objects such as writing instruments and cutlery, as well as large areas of our bodies, to help with strength and abilities in these domains. We are also happy to work with an occupational therapist (OT) and/or physiotherapist (PT) if either/both are involved to build that consistency across team members.

Academics: we offer support in many common areas children may struggle in including reading, writing, math, and the necessary steps included in these activities such as following multistep instructions and maintaining focus within an activity. We are happy to collaborate with school teams whenever possible.

Our Approach

At Open Door Behaviour Consulting, we take a collaborative person-centred approach. We work closely with our clients, their families, and any other professionals involved to understand their needs and develop goals and strategies that are tailored to their unique needs. Our approach is transparent, trauma informed, and designed to help the individual succeed.
