Our Integrated Service Team

Teamwork, Every Step of the Way


At Monarch House, we use an integrated, team-based approach. We align daily strategies and ensure your child experiences a consistent, custom-tailored program developed by one or more of these specialists:

Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA)
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP)
Occupational Therapists
Physical Therapists
Psychotherapists/Counsellors
Social Workers
Instructor Therapists (IT)/Registered Behaviour Technicians (RBT)
Registered Psychologists
Pediatricians
 

BCBA / Board Certified Behaviour Analysts

A Board Certified Behaviour Analyst is a master's - or doctoral-level clinician specializing in understanding how the environment influences behaviour.

At Monarch House, our BCBAs design individualized, positive, and play-based programs that teach meaningful life skills-such as communication, emotional regulation, and social interaction-while reducing behaviours that cause distress or limit your child's opportunities.

 

SLP / Speech Language Pathologists

A Speech Language Pathologist is a clinical expert in communication, speech mechanics, and language comprehension. At Monarch House, our SLPs help children express their wants, needs, and feelings-whether through verbal speech, sign language, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices-while also supporting social interaction and mealtime/swallowing safety.

 

OT / Occupational Therapists

An Occupational Therapist helps children develop the foundational skills they need for the "occupations" of childhood: playing, learning, dressing, eating, and interacting with the world around them. To help your child navigate everyday life with greater independence and confidence, Monarch House OTs focus on fine motor coordination, sensory processing, self-regulation, and daily living skills.

 

PT / Physical Therapists

A Physical Therapist specializes in movement, physical strength, gross motor skills, and functional mobility. At Monarch House, our PTs evaluate how your child moves their body, helping them build the core strength, balance, coordination, and endurance needed to run, jump, play, and safely navigate their physical environment.

 

Psychotherapists / Counsellors

A Psychotherapist or Counsellor provides compassionate emotional and psychological support for neurodivergent children and their families. At Monarch House, our counsellors help children manage anxiety, regulate complex emotions, build self-esteem, and process life transitions, while also offering dedicated mental health support and guidance for parents and siblings.

 

Social Workers

A Registered Social Worker is a systemic family advocate and mental health professional. At Monarch House, our Social Workers support the entire family unit by providing counselling, helping navigate complex healthcare and educational systems, securing community resources and funding options, and teaching practical family coping strategies.

 

IT / Instructor Therapists and RBT / Registered Behaviour Technicians

An Instructor Therapist (IT) or Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) is a trained behavioural technician who provides direct, 1-on-1 therapy to your child. At Monarch House, IT/RBTs carry out individualized skill-building programs designed by BCBAs, engaging your child in play-based learning to practice communication, motor, social, and self-care skills every day.

 

Registered Psychologists

A Registered Psychologist is a doctoral-level clinician specializing in psychological assessment, brain-behaviour relationships, and formal diagnostic evaluations. At Monarch House, our Psychologists conduct comprehensive developmental, autism, and psychoeducational assessments, providing formal diagnoses, cognitive profiles, and clinical roadmaps for your child's care.

 

Pediatricians

A Pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in the physical, behavioural, and developmental health of children. At Monarch House, our Pediatricians evaluate physical growth, manage medical conditions associated with neurodiversity (such as sleep disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and co-occurring medical conditions), and provide medical oversight alongside developmental assessments.
