Description: Mackenzie Health’s behavioural services team works with individuals with a developmental disability in York Region or Simcoe County. This program service delivery is matched to needs and may be provided through individual and/or group support. Following a behaviour assessment, a behaviour support plan is created that includes prevention, skill building and intervention strategies. Specific skills are taught using the mediator model. For children and adults who have a developmental disability with a significant cognitive delay who exhibits challenging behaviour that is interfering with their ability to participate in daily living activities.
