Behavior support for autism families in Edmonton
Edmonton families tell a familiar Alberta story: a long wait for assessment, another wait for services, and challenging behavior that will not wait for either. Jess, an Alberta-based consultant with 25+ years of experience with children and families, works with Edmonton parents online so the plan starts now, not after the next waitlist.
Because the work is parent-led, it travels well: from Mill Woods to St. Albert, support happens in your living room over video, scheduled in Mountain Time around school runs and shift work.

Funding & support in Alberta
Jess's consulting is private-pay. Some families direct flexible portions of their provincial funding toward eligible supports, and program rules change often, so always confirm with your funding coordinator. Either way, the free discovery call costs nothing and will help you map your options.
- FSCD — Family Support for Children with Disabilities
Alberta's FSCD program supports families raising children with disabilities, and eligible children may receive specialized services. Edmonton families often combine FSCD supports with private consulting; confirm specifics with your FSCD worker.
- GRIT and community programs
Edmonton has strong early-education supports for children with disabilities. Private behavior consulting complements these programs by giving parents their own plan for home.
Serving the wider Edmonton area
Families anywhere in the region, from St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Fort Saskatchewan to Beaumont, and everywhere in between, can work with Jess online. If you can get online, you are close enough.
Edmonton families ask
How do online sessions work for Edmonton families?
Sessions are video calls scheduled in Mountain Time. Jess coaches you, the parent, inside your real routines: the 5pm homework battle or the bedtime standoff happens at your house, so that is where the plan is built. Edmonton families get the same individualized support as families in her home region.
Can Edmonton families use FSCD alongside private consulting?
Many Alberta families use FSCD supports and private consulting together. What an individual FSCD agreement covers varies by family, so confirm details with your FSCD worker; the discovery call can help you frame the questions to ask.
