HAMILTON BRANT BEHAVIOUR SERVICES
Hamilton Brant Behaviour Services is a community-based service for children, adolescent and adults with developmental disabilties with significant behavioural/emotional problems. Under the supervision of a registered psychologist, our Behaviour Consultants work with individuals and their primary care and/or service providers, teaching practical ways to promote healthy behaviours.
What we know:
-
People behave in certain ways because those behaviours get their needs met
-
Behaviour needs to be understood in relation to the person’s abilities: physical, emotional, and cognitive.
-
Each of us has the power to control our own behaviour. We cannot control the actions of others, however we can model and support appropriate behaviour. |
