Assessment of behaviour
I conduct assessment of the behaviour of individuals (both children, youth and adults) with a wide range of presenting difficulties (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attachment Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Nonverbal Learning Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorders and Intellectual Impairments). I also perform analyses of problematic behaviour that occurs in groups of students (i.e. classes). These assessments rely on direct observation of the behaviour(s) of concern using techniques from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).
Each assessment is highly individualized and is designed according to the issues or problems identified by the school or parents. As well as overt, acting out behaviours, I address such issues as lack of behavioural self-control, especially impulsivity, hyperactivity and restlessness.
I also address skill deficits such as social skills deficits and deficits in interpersonal skills. Input is sought from significant others (parents, teachers, administrators etc.) as appropriate. Information from such an assessment is used to plan an intervention.
