Program Overview

  • What is The Balance Program?

    A coaching model where clinicians guide caregivers to teach replacement communication, build tolerance for change/denial, and increase cooperation through short, joyful practice.

  • Who is it for?

    Families seeking to reduce challenging behaviour and increase independence, connection, and confidence at home and in the community.

  • What happens each week?

    Caregiver and child attend 1–2 coached sessions; at home, families complete 10–20 minutes of daily practice. Delivery can be in-person, remote, or hybrid.

THE TACT APPROACH

Structured, Joyful Learning

Coaching and practice feel doable and upbeat—so families want to keep going.

Family-Embedded

We design routines that fit your day, not the other way around, and we coach you to lead.

Data-Informed, Person-Centred

Goals are individualized; we track progress and adjust supports in real time.

Interdisciplinary Teaming

Guided by ABA clinicians under BCBA supervision, with SLP/OT consultation when helpful.

Generalization First

We practise across people, places, and activities so skills show up where they matter most.

Assent-Based, Compassionate Practice

We prioritize safety, dignity, and your child’s assent—using least-intrusive, trauma-informed strategies.
