Step 3: Group Screening
Step 3: Group Screening
After your Discovery Call, we can schedule a free Group Screening appointment.
This 30-60 minute observation will happen in-centre. It is a chance for us to meet the learner and get to know them in a brief observation, and to confirm the learner's fit in one of our groups.
We will set up a variety of common group scenarios. We will also try to observe any relevant skill domains (ex. communication, social skills, play, independence etc.).
If we have any reservations about the learner joining a group, we will try to offer alternative service options when possible.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy
The following cancellation policy will be included in your Group Registration Form:
In the event of a cancellation, I must notify the group supervisor or group leader directly.
Cancelled sessions will not be refunded. Group registration is final sale.
If Best Behaviour cancels a group session for any reason, they will contact me as soon as possible. I will not be billed for a session that is cancelled by Best Behaviour Inc.
Sessions will not be held on the following company-wide planned closures: Easter Monday, Civic Holiday Monday, and the days between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.
Sessions will not be held on the following statutory holidays: New Year’s Day, Ontario Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.
In the event of inclement weather, Best Behaviour Inc. reminds all clients and team members to travel by car only when it is safe to do so. When you do travel, allow for extra time, take care, and have caution on the roads. If the centre is closed due to inclement weather, all parties will be notified. The session will be refunded. If the centre is open, then it is expected that the learner will be attending their group session.
If attendance falls below 75% of sessions scheduled, Best Behaviour Inc. reserves the right to offer the recurring appointment slots to another family. This will not be done without significant advance notice and communication. Events such as vacations or holidays will not count against this policy.

Some of our services may be covered under Special Services at Home (SSAH) funding.
ABA Therapy may be covered by some extended health benefits. It is recommended that families call their insurance provider to confirm if they have coverage for therapy supervised by a Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA) registered with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CBPAO).

Please note that all of our services are subject to revision, and results are not guaranteed. We use evidence-based strategies to base all of our interventions and clinical recommendations.
If non-evidence-based interventions are requested, their effectiveness must be monitored closely. Alternatively, referrals can be made to other professionals better suited to oversee such interventions.
As a team of Registered Behaviour Analysts, it is our duty to abide by all relevant legislation, regulations under the legislation, Standards of Professional Conduct, and College-endorsed Codes of Ethics within the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis.
If behaviour analytic services are not provided in accordance to these stipulations, the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO) has a system for concerned individuals to file a complaint or report to the College.
