Functional Communication Training
About
Functional Communication Learning (FCT) is a differential reinforcement procedure in which an individual learns an alternative response that results in the same function of the identified problematic behavior. When children can communicate functionally, they are also ready to learn to make choices and increase their independence. The function of the behaviour is the same: they try to meet their needs, while avoiding meltdowns and frustrations. For learners who do not develop this naturally, they may need intervention to help teach these skills. Each participant will access 2 individual consultations to support the development of functional communication and one follow up session to further support the ongoing need.
