About Us

Reach Beyond Behaviour Therapy Inc. was established during the midst of the worldwide COVID-19 Pandemic that changed how people with special needs received treatment and support. During that time, Reach Beyond Behaviour Therapy Inc. developed unique approaches to assist families within the province of Ontario by developing and implementing a hybrid model consisting of consultation and telepractice services. Reach Beyond Behaviour Therapy Inc. has served over 30 clients and their families. We will continue to find creative solutions to overcome barriers that families may experience by providing exceptional services!

Reach Beyond Behaviour Therapy goes beyond by integrating their clients into the community and providing families with tools to help their children succeed. By being collaborative and consistent, we not only delivered high-quality services, but we have built strong client-professional relationships.

We have created a vision in which our clients are productive and independent members of society. We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when there is a collaborative approach in which everyone works together!
