Summary
We’re seeking a Behaviour Consultant to design and oversee high-impact behaviour supports across our therapeutic and educational programs. You’ll collaborate with SLPs, OTs, educators (ECE/EA), and BIs to create individualized plans that improve communication, regulation, learning, independence, and participation at school and home.
Responsibilities

- Align behaviour goals with Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs), IEPs, and clinical targets (SLP/OT), ensuring consistent strategies across settings.
- Coach and supervise BIs/EAs/ECEs: model strategies, set fidelity checks, and provide actionable feedback.
- Provide parent/caregiver coaching, biweekly progress updates, and lead monthly case conferences with families, schools, and clinicians.
- Select and support AAC/PECS use; embed naturalistic teaching, prompting/fading, reinforcement, generalization, and precision teaching.
- Integrate sensory and self-care ladders (toileting/hygiene) with OT; proactive regulation and de-escalation plans.
- Use data systems to graph outcomes and make timely treatment decisions; contribute to clear reports for families and funders.
- Support program quality, ethics, and safety (positive behaviour support; crisis prevention readiness); contribute to staff training and workshops.
- Collaborate on referrals, scheduling, and documentation aligned with BC Autism Funding and other funding streams.
Qualifications

- Demonstrated skill with ABA and allied, evidence-based approaches (e.g., NDBI, visual supports, task analysis, precision teaching) and AAC/PECS.
- Strong data skills (collecting, charting, interpreting) and clear, compassionate communication with families and school teams.
- Ability to lead training, coach diverse teams, and collaborate across disciplines (SLP/OT/ECE/EA/BI).
- Assets: CPI/NVCI or equivalent safety training, First Aid/CPR, multilingual ability, school-based consultation experience, familiarity with BC Autism Funding processes.
