Live Workshops
Live Workshops for Parents, Families, and Educators
While children respond well to in-clinic therapy, we are proud to offer a variety of live workshops for parents, families, and educators, to help continue the therapy children are receiving at ABC Solutions in their home and community.
When children receive the same guidance, direction, and support from all of the adults in their lives, they learn more quickly which behaviours are appropriate and which ones they should leave behind.

We offer a variety of live workshops, so you can choose the one best suited for your and your child’s needs:

Positive Solutions For Families
A Workshop That Simply Works
Positive Solutions for Families is a workshop for parents and caregivers of young children based on The Pyramid Model, an evidence-based approach used in Early Childhood Education Centers. In this workshop, we teach parents and caregivers positive parenting behaviours and skills to help promote their children’s development (both socially and emotionally).
Parents leave this course with the skills and strategies needed to ensure children receive consistent messaging from all adults, whether in our clinic, with daycare providers, or at home.
In this course, parents will:
- Learn how to identify different behaviours and accurately determine the meaning of the behaviour
- Learn positive parenting techniques that help to manage challenging behaviours
- Learn prevention strategies and how to set up successful routines and transitions
- Strengthen their parenting practices with social-emotional learning
- Become connected to a new community of other parents and caregivers to share both the struggles and the joys of parenthood with.
