Clinical overview

What is Behavior Therapy?

Behavior therapy looks at what a child is trying to communicate through their behavior โ€” and teaches a skill that works better for them. Rather than focusing on stopping a behavior, we ask what the child needs in that moment, and build the skill that meets the need.

Sessions are calm, playful and structured. We use positive reinforcement, clear routines, visual supports and step-by-step teaching so that a child experiences success early and often. Every plan is written for one child, in one family, in one set of daily routines.

Who may benefit

Is this right for my child?

You do not need an official diagnosis to come and talk to us. If any of the following sound familiar, an assessment is worth having.

  • Frequent meltdowns, or distress that is hard to settle
  • Difficulty following instructions or coping with transitions
  • Hitting, biting, throwing or other unsafe behavior
  • Trouble waiting, sharing or playing alongside other children
  • Sleep, mealtime or toilet-training routines that have become difficult
  • Children with autism, ADHD or a developmental delay who need structured skill-building

15-Minute Home Regulation Protocol: The Calm Down Arc

Progress accelerates when clinic skills are reinforced inside daily home routines. Try this 15-minute sequence:

Phase 1: Co-Regulation (0-3 mins)

Lower your vocal volume, get to child eye level, validate emotion without arguing ('You are angry, I am here with you').

Phase 2: Sensory Grounding (3-8 mins)

Offer deep pressure hug, weighted blanket, or 5 wall-pushes to discharge physiological adrenaline.

Phase 3: Visual Choice Replacement (8-12 mins)

Present 2 visual choices instead of open-ended demands ('Do you want water or breathing star?').

Phase 4: Positive Reconnection (12-15 mins)

Praise recovery effort specifically ('You took 3 deep breaths, that helped your body calm down').

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Most children attend one to three sessions a week, and each session runs for about 45 minutes. The frequency is agreed after the first assessment and reviewed regularly.

Often yes. Parent coaching is a core part of the work โ€” what happens at home between sessions matters more than the session itself.

No. We use positive, respectful teaching. Skills are built through encouragement, structure and practice, never through punishment or shaming.
