The vision statement helps to express the association’s priorities and principles. What is achievable and what the association aspires to is described in the vision. A vision must answer questions such as: what are the core principles of the organization, what is the justification for Vancouver Speech Therapy, how does it make a significant difference, and what initiatives are worth undertaking? The vision of an organization must transcend the established leadership.
The mission deals with the organization’s behavior and the current situation and provides an organization with guidance, and is the basis for all preparation. It is the starting point and needs to be practical for everyone. Typically, the mission describes the organization’s intent, acknowledges the stakeholders, indicates their needs, and implies the image the organization wants to project.
Our Programs
Services with Behaviour interventionist
The BCBA ® will periodically monitor and modify all services provided by your therapist according to the most specific criteria set by either the Behaviour Analytic Certification Board (BACB) and the funder. A behavioral therapist can work with your child at Vancouver Speech Therapy for a minimum of 7.5 * hours per week in your home, in the therapy center, or a variation of both. The detailed/specialized Behaviour Intervention package offers regular family meetings. In these sessions, parents will collaborate with the BCBA ® to improve their child’s current goals and develop new ones.
We can help with:
- Assessment of baseline abilities using industry-standard instruments.
- Creation of a structured curriculum that focuses on the learning of skills in various fields (e.g., participating skills, visual skills, listening skills, imitation, development of speech / vocal communication, asking, labeling, interaction/conversation abilities, cognitive abilities, group skills, social skills, pre-academic and academic skills, fine and gross motor skills, self-help skills, and activities).
- Identification of problem behaviors (i.e., those that interfere with learning or affect the individual) and implementing action strategies for behavior.
