We will work with your budget to assist you the best way possible to provide the services your child requires. We work with families who pay privately, through insurance and/or various other funding options available to cover the costs of services.

The long term goal of Scott Children & Youth Services is to empower the young person to change socially unacceptable behaviours into positive ones, so that the child and/or youth is able to live a productive and enriched life.
- School Settings
- The programs we provide within the school system is to assist children, youth with transitions, following group instructions, social skills & behaviour management within the classroom & to also provide school personnel the appropriate skills to assist with any challenges that arise. We attend IEP Meetings and provide goals, observations and programs to school staff as need be. We ensure we are all on the same page with one goal in mind – your child’s best interest at heart.
- After IBI Therapy if your child has completed IBI we will work with them doing ABA Therapy in home/community working on various skills, to ensure they stay on the right path and gain new skills while mantain the ones gained. We ensure their program is supervised, data collection, and weekly reports/meetings.
