EARLY INTERVENTION

Hi, I’m Elyssa, the in house behaviour analyst and owner of Happy Oak Kids (you can learn more about me on my bio page!) . Since becoming a mother 7 years ago, it has been a mission of mine to ensure that our early learning programs are not only individualized but are fun and flexible. Every child is unique and deserves to have a program tailored to meet their needs and interests.  At Happy Oak, we use applied behaviour analysis to make sure our kids are learning in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Centre-Based Programs:

Our centre based programs offer a warm and inviting atmosphere for little ones to learn 1:1 with their therapists and socially interact with other kids. For children that do better in a quiet space with less stimulation we provide comforting 1:1 learning rooms . Our open areas offer lots of stimulation for creative play, circle time and a cozy book nook. The centre is a great space to learn and practice language, communication and play.  

Home-based Programs:

Home based programs offer the perfect environment to work on routines such as mealtime, potty training, transitions between activities, grooming and any behaviours that parents may be finding challenging. Our home based programs also offer 1:1 therapy with a therapist to work on language, communication and functional play.

All of our early intervention Programs offer the following:

  • An initial assessment to determine current skill level across the following areas:

    • Functional language and communication skills

    • Attending and “learning to learn” skills

    • Social and play skills

    • Independent life skills (e.g., eating, dressing, toileting)

  • An Individualized Learning Plan outlining program goals

  • Ongoing supervision to all staff in the form of monthly overlaps with our behaviour analysts

  • Opportunity for parent training in theory and practice

  • Monthly progress reports

  • Team meetings to review your child’s progress

Yours truly,

Elyssa McKee ~ Mom, behaviour analyst and fun advocate!!
