Behaviour Innovations

Behaviour Innovations Behaviour Innovations offers a full range of ABA services to individuals with autism and their families. http://www.behaviourinnovations.com

BI was established in September 1998 in response to the growing need for well-supervised, high-quality, ABA-driven services for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders and related disabilities. The directors are Dr. Nicole Walton-Allen and Dr. Joel Hundert, both psychologists and Board Certified Behaviour Analysts. What had begun out of a small office in Hamilton soon expanded to include Children’s College, a centre-based private school in Toronto, home-based services in southern Ontario, and the provision of a full range of ABA services to families in other regions across Canada, and in other countries. In 2000, the Behaviour Institute was successful at its bid to train more than 2000 instructor-therapists hired by the newly formed Regional Programs across the Province. In addition, BI has developed and delivered the following additional training programs:

A "train-the-trainer" package for training parents of young children with autism
"Advanced Topics Seminars Series" presented via video-conferencing by leading experts
A series of seven week long “supervisor internships” to supervisors at Regional Programs. Training newly hired staff at Regional Programs on how to take over the training of staff. Upgrading and revising the instructor-therapist training material. In 2002, Behaviour Institute provided consultation on the training designed by Children’s Mental Health Ontario on best practices for children with autism spectrum disorder and their families

✨ 3 Ways to Make Transitions Easier ✨

Transitions can be challenging—but the right supports can make a big difference. Here are 3 effective strategies we use in ABA to support smoother transitions:

⏱️ Visual Timers
Visual timers show how much time is left in an activity, helping children better understand expectations and upcoming changes.

⏰ Warnings
Providing 2–5 minute transition warnings allows time to prepare for what’s next, making schedules more predictable and easier to follow.

✅ Choice
Offering choices increases motivation, reduces resistance, and gives children a sense of autonomy during transitions.

Small supports can lead to big successes 💙
