Behavior support for autism families in Montreal
For English-speaking families in Montreal, finding behavior support in your language can be its own project: public services route through the CLSC network, waits are real, and English-language providers are stretched. Jess offers Montreal families expert, English-language behavior consulting online, no matter which borough or off-island suburb you call home.
Sessions run in Eastern Time, and the parent-led model works alongside whatever public services your family accesses: you learn to handle the daily behavior while the system does its slower work.

Funding & support in Quebec
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.
- Public services via CLSC / CIUSSS
Quebec routes developmental services through the public network, with real waits in many regions. Private consulting is a common bridge while families wait for or supplement public support.
- Supplement for Handicapped Children
Retraite Québec's supplement helps eligible families with the extra costs of raising a child with a significant disability, budget room many families put toward supports they choose.
Serving the wider Montreal area
Families anywhere in the region, from Laval, Longueuil, West Island, NDG, Brossard, Dollard-des-Ormeaux to Pointe-Claire, and everywhere in between, can work with Jess online. If you can get online, you are close enough.
Montreal families ask
Are sessions available in French?
Sessions are in English. Many bilingual Montreal families find this works well, since the coaching is for parents; your child does not need to speak English to benefit, because you are the one in session.
We're waitlisted at our CLSC. Is private consulting worth it in the meantime?
That is the exact situation virtual consulting serves best: instead of holding difficult months with no plan, you learn to reduce meltdowns and build skills now, and your child enters public services (when they arrive) with a parent who already knows what works.
