Parent-Child Behaviour Consulting in Edmonton
Participate more confidently in daily life
Helping Children Build Skills, Reduce Challenges, and Thrive in Everyday Life
Every behaviour tells a story. When children struggle with emotional regulation, attention, social interactions, transitions, or challenging behaviours, they are often communicating a need they do not yet have the skills to express.
Our Behaviour Consulting services help children, youth, and families understand what is driving behaviour while building the skills needed for meaningful, lasting change. Through evidence-based Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), our Board Certified Behaviour Analysts® (BCBA®) and Behaviour Consultants partner with families, schools, and caregivers to create individualized strategies that support success at home, school, and in everyday life.
What Is Behaviour Consulting?
Behaviour Consulting is a collaborative service that focuses on understanding why behaviours occur and identifying strategies that support positive development.
Rather than focusing solely on reducing unwanted behaviours, Behaviour Consulting seeks to understand the function of behaviour and teach new skills that better meet a child’s needs. Research shows that children are more successful when they are taught replacement skills and provided with supportive environments that encourage growth.
Our Behaviour Consultants work closely with families to:
Understand behavioural challenges
Identify environmental triggers and patterns
Develop practical intervention strategies
Build communication and social skills
Improve emotional regulation
Increase independence and daily living skills
Support positive family interactions
Collaborate with schools and community supports
Every plan is individualized because every child is unique.
What Is a BCBA®?
Our Behaviour Consulting services are led by professionals who hold the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) credential.
A BCBA® is a graduate-level professional who has completed specialized training in behaviour analysis, met rigorous certification requirements, and demonstrated expertise in assessment, intervention planning, data analysis, and behaviour support. BCBA® professionals are trained to develop evidence-based interventions that promote meaningful and socially significant outcomes for children and families.
Working with a BCBA® ensures that your child receives services grounded in current research and professional standards.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to develop skills, build confidence, and thrive within their family, school, and community.
Our Approach to Behaviour Consulting
The first step often involves a comprehensive behavioural assessment. During this process, our Behaviour Consultant gathers information through:
Parent interviews
Direct observation
Collaboration with teachers and caregivers
Behaviour tracking and data collection
Review of developmental history
Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) when appropriate
The assessment helps identify patterns, triggers, strengths, and areas for growth. From there, we create an individualized plan tailored to your child’s specific needs.
Behaviour Consulting for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Many families seek Behaviour Consulting following an autism diagnosis.
Behaviour Consulting can support children with ASD by helping develop:
Communication skills
Social interaction skills
Emotional regulation
Self-help and daily living skills
Play skills
School readiness
Safety awareness
Independence
Our approach focuses on helping children participate meaningfully in the activities and relationships that matter most to them and their families.
Behaviour Assessments
At KIN Integrated, we believe behaviour should always be understood within the context of the whole child.
We look beyond the behaviour itself and seek to understand:
What the child is communicating
What skills may be missing
How the environment influences behaviour
What supports can help the child succeed
Our approach is strengths-based, compassionate, and evidence-informed. We focus on building meaningful skills rather than simply managing behaviours.
Children learn best when they feel safe, understood, and supported.
Behaviour Consulting as Part of an Integrated Team
One of the unique benefits of KIN Integrated Child Health is our interdisciplinary model.
Behaviour Consulting is often most effective when integrated with other services such as:
Psychology
Speech-Language Pathology
Occupational Therapy
Parent Consultation
Psychoeducational/Autism/ADHD Assessments
By working together, our team develops coordinated care plans that address the whole child rather than isolated concerns.
This integrated approach helps families avoid fragmented care and creates a more seamless experience.
School and Community Collaboration
Children often spend a significant portion of their day at school.
When appropriate, our Behaviour Consultants collaborate with:
Teachers
Educational assistants
School teams
Daycares
Community programs
Allied health professionals
This collaborative approach helps ensure consistency across environments and supports better long-term outcomes for children and families.

You have questions, we have answers
-
We provide counselling for all teen issues, mental health, body issues, teen relationships, trauma & parent-child issues and co-parenting impacts on teens.
We also support parents and caregivers as part of our holistic approach.
-
The severity of symptoms, the level of need and the rate of progress are all factors which influence the length of therapy. Certainly, therapy beyond what is necessary for your teen’s mental health will not be entertained out of respect for your time, finances and your teen’s independence. When the majority of treatment goals are met, the frequency of therapy may be reduced to bi-weekly, monthly or as needed.
-
Explicit information, such as verbatim thoughts or expressions, are kept confidential. General information around themes, conflicts and progress, may be shared depending on the treatment. Parental involvement will be recommended when there is clinical value. Mandatory disclosures will be made for legal and safety reasons.
For custody issues, in cases where divorced parents are each required to consent on behalf of their teen’s participation in treatment, we require a copy of the court order.
We do not testify in legal proceedings unless subpoenaed. -
Yes—especially with younger children, parent involvement is key. We may include check-ins, parenting support, or family sessions as needed to ensure consistent support at home and in therapy.
