PsychCare has immediate availability for therapy services for children with developmental conditions. We work with children as young as 2 years old.

Overview

At PsychCare, Dr. McLean provides behavioral services for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental conditions including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), genetic disorders, and developmental delays. Behavioral problems treated include the following: tantrums, aggression, disruptive behaviors, toilet training difficulties, mild self-injurious behaviors, elopement, sleep problems, and task refusal.

Therapy services are short-term (up to approximately 12 weeks) and family-centered, and focus on supporting parents in developing the confidence and skills needed to address difficult to manage behaviors within the home. Parent involvement is an essential component of treatment, and parents are given strategies to practice between appointments. Sessions are usually weekly at the beginning of treatment and become less frequent as improvement occurs.
