WHO WE ARE
Clinical support for individuals & families
Insight Behaviour Support Services was established to address the significant need for qualified behaviour professionals to provide clinical oversight for individuals with complex care needs and their families.
Our team of highly trained Registered Behaviour Analysts and Supervised Behaviour Technicians works collaboratively to ensure the highest standard of care for the individuals we support.
WHO WE SERVE
Individuals with complex care needs
We serve children, adolescents, and adults with complex care needs across southern Ontario, including Durham and the Greater Toronto Area as well as Peel, Halton, Hamilton and Brantford.
The individuals we support often present with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities, frequently accompanied by co-occurring mental health diagnoses.
We provide services in various settings, including group homes, foster homes, family homes and clinics.
WHAT WE OFFER
Clinical services and oversight
We conduct comprehensive behaviour assessments, develop individualized Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs), provide mediator training, design and analyze data collection systems, facilitate family meetings, and develop goals focused on behaviour reduction and skill acquisition for each supported individual.
All services utilize evidence-based, empirically validated interventions rooted in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).
Our team really understands the journey individuals are on to believe in themselves, build their skills and coping strategies, become more independent, and feel a greater sense of belonging in their community.

Data Collection and Analysis
- The Registered Behaviour Analyst develops user-friendly data collection systems that provide critical information for clinical decision-making. These data sheets typically track the frequency, duration, and intensity of target behaviours, allowing for timely adjustments to interventions as the treatment progresses. The Registered Behaviour Analyst monitors this data to assess the efficacy of the intervention and make data-driven decisions.
Assessments
- A Registered Behaviour Analyst, supported by a Supervised Behaviour Technician, conducts thorough assessments of target behaviours through Functional Behaviour Assessments. This process involves a review of relevant documents, indirect and direct assessments, in-person observation, and the use of standardized tools as necessary to determine the function of behaviours. We do not provide initial diagnoses; our assessments focus on the current functional level of the supported individual and identifying the function of challenging behaviours to guide intervention recommendations.
Behaviour Support Plans
- The Registered Behaviour Analyst creates individualized Behaviour Support Plans tailored to the supported individual’s specific needs. These Behaviour Support Plans incorporate antecedent-based and consequence-based interventions, evidence-based teaching strategies, and behaviour management protocols. All interventions are designed to meet best practice guidelines and comply with relevant regulatory standards.
Mediator Training
- Training caregivers and support staff is integral to our service delivery. To maximize the impact of ABA interventions, all key stakeholders must implement consistent techniques across the supported individual’s environments. We conduct Behaviour Skills Training to ensure that direct support staff, parents, and other stakeholders are proficient in the required procedures. The Supervised Behaviour Technician works closely with these individuals to provide training and collect data to monitor treatment fidelity, ensuring ongoing adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary.
Family Meetings
- Registered Behaviour Analysts and Supervised Behaviour Technician meet regularly with families, agency staff, program managers, and other relevant stakeholders to review supported individual progress, address current concerns, and outline upcoming goals. We prioritize accessibility, ensuring that families can consult with our team and actively participate in their loved one’s care.
Goal Development
- Every supported individual will have socially significant goals that aim to enhance their overall quality of life. These goals are often designed to reduce maladaptive or harmful behaviours and replace them with functionally equivalent alternatives. For example, we might work to replace aggression with communication strategies, such as teaching the supported individual to use words, gestures, pictures, or augmentative communication devices (e.g., electronic tablet) to express needs or wants rather than resorting to aggression.
