Parenting is hard. Behaviour doesn't have to be.

I'm Autumn, a Registered Behaviour Analyst. I work directly with your child at home and alongside you as their parent to make sense of the hard moments, from ASD and ADHD to everyday meltdowns.

Sound familiar?

  • Meltdowns that come out of nowhere, or last forever

  • Hitting, kicking, throwing or biting

  • Bedtime, mealtimes or getting out the door as a daily battle

  • A child who can't handle "no" or sudden changes

  • Rigid routines that rule the whole house

  • Running off or bolting in public

  • Big feelings with no words for them yet

  • Hard days at school spilling over at home

Whether your child has an ASD or ADHD diagnosis, or no diagnosis at all, these are the moments I help with.

What working with your child looks like

I start by getting to know your child: what they love, what's hard, and what their day actually looks like. Sessions happen where the hard moments happen: at home, at the table, at bedtime, and they're built around play, trust and real-life practice.

We work on the skills your child needs most right now: asking for help, handling "no," coping with big feelings, and getting through transitions. And because you're there for your child every day, not just during my visits, I show you exactly how to keep it going between sessions.

Why a Compass?

A compass doesn't walk the path for you. It helps you figure out which way to head. That's how I see my role: meeting you where you are, helping you find where you want to be, and walking alongside you while you get there. The journey is yours. We're in it together.

  • Connection. Everything starts here. When the connection is strong, with me, with you, with the people around your child, everything else has something to hold onto.

  • Skills. A lot of what looks like defiance is a skill that hasn't caught up yet. We teach toward the gap instead of punishing it.

  • Environment. Our surroundings shape behaviour more than we realize. Small changes to the environment can make a big difference.

  • Capacity. Everyone's capacity shifts, child and parent. I won't ask you to do more than you can. The plan has to feel possible, not just look good on paper.
