Clinical Specialized Services for Children provides skill development and interventions based upon Applied Behaviour Analysis principle through a multidisciplinary team approach under the supervision of our Psychologist.
Our services work to address various concerns including social skills building, independent self-help skills, sleep problems, aggression and defiance using positive applied behaviour analysis techniques. Our goal is to build the parent/child relationship and provide tools to parents in a positive framework.
