FAQ

What are the Labs? What’s the difference?

Behaviour Solutions Lab has developed a platform which includes a Family Lab and School Lab. These are collections of short videos designed to support parents, caregivers and educators through a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of behaviour. The Family Lab is designed for parents and caregivers, and the School Lab is designed for educators. This means that information in each Lab is tailored to either family-related topics or school-related topics. In addition to short videos that breakdown behaviour-specific topics, we provide companion documents for many videos and links to resources used on the creation of content.

What is the difference between the School & Family Labs?

The Family Lab is designed for parents and caregivers, and the School Lab is designed for educators. This means that information in each Lab is tailored to either family-related topics or school-related topics. Due to the fact that both environments play an important role in a child’s development, as well as the principles of behaviour apply to all settings, there is some cross-over in content.

What age group is the content in the Labs intended to support?

The information in the Labs applies to ALL behaviour, although the Family Lab and School Lab were created primarily to address behaviours seen in children and teens ages zero to fourteen (0-14 years).

Why should my school subscribe to the School Lab?

Behaviour Solutions Lab has developed the School Lab and support service which can support your school by helping to strengthen the behaviour skills of your educators. The videos and companion documents provided in the School Lab breakdown the basics of behaviour to give educators a more in-depth understanding of why behaviours occur and how to shape negative behaviours into more positive ones. In addition, schools have the option to book consultations with a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst for more individualised support.

Why should I, as a parent, caregiver, or person with interest in strengthening bevaviour skills, subscribe to the Family Lab?

The Family Lab provides high quality content that helps parents and caregivers develop their understanding of behaviour. When you broaden your understanding of behaviour, you become more aware of your own behaviour and how you as a parent or caregiver, have a direct impact on the behaviour of your child. The Family Lab helps you to address behaviour with intention, by encouraging positive behaviours and decreasing the ocurrence of negative behaviours.

What is a consultation hour?

The consultation hours are provided by a qualified behaviour specialist (BCBA – Board Certified Behaviour Analyst) to (i) support you in the application of behaviour principles addressed in the Lab, (ii) further explain, dissect and discuss specific behaviours, (iii) answer questions, (iv) present case study examples and (v) facilitate discussions regarding how to implement behaviour principles and strategies. Typically, the consultation hours are provided remotely (via Zoom, Teams etc.), unless otherwise agreed upon.
