AIM: Part 1 - Ages 10 - 14 years

AIM is a curriculum that combines Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to address social and emotional challenges in children.

AIM incorporates a variety of developmentally appropriate, sensory focused, and engaging activities to increase flexible and adaptive behaviours. AIM focuses on accepting the things that have happened (both good and bad), identifying what is really important, and making decisions that move you toward your goals. AIM Part 1 introduces participants to the concepts that will be used throughout this curriculum. AIM Part 1 is a prerequisite to other groups in the AIM series. This group is appropriate for children who can follow multi-step instructions independently, communicate using verbal requests, comments, and questions, and can participate without 1:1 support in a group setting.
