At Harper’s Health, our Behaviour Support team works alongside individuals, families, and support networks to improve quality of life through evidence-based, person-centred strategies. We support children, adolescents, and adults with behaviours of concern by identifying the underlying needs driving those behaviours and developing tailored, respectful approaches that promote safety, dignity, and independence.
