Amber is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) with a Master’s of Education Curriculum and Instruction (Applied Behaviour Analysis) and is a Registered Social Service Worker (RSSW). As a BCBA, Amber follows the evidence-based intervention of ABA. ABA focuses on using reinforcement to improve a variety of behaviours that can range from injury to self or others, routines, school refusal, emotional regulation, social skills, transitions to adulthood and more. Amber can analyze behaviours and create an intervention plan to help you or your child navigate their world in a more functional way.

Amber understands that parents are the experts on their children and therefore she works collaboratively with parents to teach them the skills necessary to reach goals as a family. ABA is a short term intervention and uses a mediator model of intervention that empowers parents to learn along with their child to arm parents with the skills to continue intervention after its completion.
