About NBCS
In-person and online sessions to support families of children with Autism and various challenges related to behaviour or mental health.
Working in Partnership with Families, Children, Youth and Community supports
Nenno Behavioural Consultation Services (NBCS) was launched by Behaviour Consultant/Parent Coach, Sophie Nenno over 5 years ago. NBCS was created to work with children and youth to help them develop the functional, emotional and social skills they need to thrive in life. We specialize in helping our young friends and their families, parents and caregivers, address a variety of behavioural challenges that may be affecting their personal growth and connection to each other and the community.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple: We believe that each child and each family is unique and has unlimited potential to grow, learn new skills, improve their quality of life and achieve their greatest potential. We believe the best way to do that is through a safe and supportive environment where you can learn, grow and find balance together.
Our goal is for you and your family to feel supported, empowered and prioritized through this process.
Our Approach
We start from scratch. Every child and family has their own unique strengths and challenges, so each plan we make is tailor-made to give your child the best chance of success. We use a variety of evidence-based and family-centred methodologies, such as Attachment-based theories and Positive Behavioural Support. We are relationship-centred in our approach to working children and their families and believe that children learn best through play and when they are actively engaged and interested in the work they are doing.
