• Suggests changes in the environment to encourage optimal learning.

• Provides education to parents and caregivers about applied behaviour analytic principles.

• Coaches parents and caregivers about support for social skills, daily living skills, problem solving skills, leisure skills, communication, and self-regulation. 

• Recommends evidence-based teaching methods to help the individual learn new skills and behaviours.

• Helps to manage anxiety and stress.     

• Provides guidance to monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of strategies and goal-directed outcomes using data collection.
