Hi there,

Any recommendations on a great Behavioural Consultant that will work well for a 2.5 year-old?

If you are willing to share a super-strong recommendation on someone that has worked well for you and that you know is taking on new clients, please respond to the email below. We are looking for a BC to establish a home-based program for our 2.5 year old son. We have 3 great BIs ready to go. We are based in Vancouver – near the PNE.

Our son is somewhat verbal – uses a few single words daily – seems to have hyperlexia (his repetitive behaviour is related to a fascination with the alphabet and with numbers). We think he would do well in a program where table work is mixed in with play in different environments – perhaps 20-hours of table work and 10 hours to be used for play (e.g. We like the DIR Floortime principle) and/or possibly working with him in his daycare environment (of course with specific learning objectives planned for him there). As parents, we'd also like to get some training ourselves.

He responds well if he has variety in his day and has an opportunity to see new things and be active (has high sensory needs we believe). He withdraws in general when left to his own devices unless he's actively engaged. He responds to physical rough and tumble, jumping on the bed and tickling kind of play.

Any ideas on consultants or opinions you'd care to share?

Thanks. Pls. respond to ceebeeno3@hotmail.com
