Our specially trained Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA) use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to give you and your family an evidenced-based, meaningful approach to your child’s development with results you can see. Whether it is challenging behaviour, communication, self-help, or social skills, our staff is here to support you.

Direct ABA Therapy/Intervention

Direct ABA Therapy / Intervention

ABA is a structured intervention technique based on the principles of learning and human behavior. Data for target skills are collected, assessed, and evaluated, providing the foundation for growth in many skill areas.

Severe Problem Behaviour

Family concerns regarding challenging behavior are addressed through assessment, planning, and specific intervention techniques that are specific to your child’s behavior. Understand the ‘why’ behind your child’s behavior with the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Parent Training

Family members are trained to teach and support their child’s goals for a lasting impact of intervention.

Skill Acquisition

Improve your child’s skills in a range of domains including communication, academics, self-help (tooth brushing, toilet training, hygiene routine), social skills, and safety.

FUNDING

Both FSCD and private funding options available

At Northern Star Behaviour Services, we know that accessing intervention services for your child can be difficult and we believe finances should never be a barrier. That’s why we offer direct government funding through FSCD and private pay options to suit your needs.

I have loved our experience with Northern Star Behaviour Services thus far! As my family is located in Grande Prairie, I knew that many of our appointments would be supplemented with video calls, and I was slightly nervous about the quality of these online sessions. But I am glad to say that our provider is extremely observant and truly makes the most out of both in person and online appointments! They have provided us with many useful tools to make not just my son's life easier, but my own as well. The team at Northern Star is amazing and so easy to work with; I am so thankful for them.

We had been struggling for the past few years trying to help our autistic son develop language skills. We tried multiple different programs – on the recommendation of specialists – but none of them took. But that all changed in October 2021 when we were introduced to Northern Star Behaviour Services and they graced us with our consultant. Now, only five short months later, he has taken to the PECs system incredibly quickly. He is engaged far more and is actually participating in school activities with his peers and making friends! Such a night and day difference – it truly was nothing short of miraculous.

Our family hired Northern Star to help with sleep issues with our Autistic son. One meeting and I knew they would be able to help. Northern Star had a plan for us within hours and monitored things with us for weeks. I would highly recommend them for anyone wanting to change their child’s behaviour.
