Individualized Behaviour Intervention Plans
Academics
The academic domain refers to teaching and strengthening skills related to learning, school readiness, and classroom participation. It focuses on building foundational skills that help children succeed in structured educational settings, as well as higher-level academic abilities. Instruction is individualized and data-driven, with goals broken down into manageable steps and reinforced systematically.
Behaviour Modification
The behaviour modification domain in ABA focuses on identifying, reducing, or replacing challenging behaviours while increasing positive, socially significant behaviours. The goal is not simply to “stop” a behaviour but to understand its function (why it occurs), teach appropriate replacement skills, and create supportive environments.
Communication
This domain in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) focuses on developing skills that allow individuals to effectively express their needs, wants, thoughts, and feelings, while also understanding and responding to the communication of others. ABA interventions target both expressive (what the learner says, signs, or otherwise communicates) and receptive (what the learner understands) language.
Fine Motor
The fine motor domain focuses on strengthening small muscle movements in the hands, fingers, and wrists that are essential for independence in daily living, academic tasks, and play. ABA programs can help learners build coordination, precision, and functional use of their hands. These skills often serve as the foundation for handwriting, self-care routines, and participation in age-appropriate activities.
Gross Motor
The gross motor domain targets large muscle movements and whole-body coordination that are essential for mobility, play, and independence. Gross motor goals support the development of strength, balance, coordination, and endurance. These skills are foundational for participating in physical activities, navigating daily environments safely, and engaging in peer play or group sports.
Social Skills
The social skills domain focuses on helping individuals build meaningful, appropriate, and reciprocal interactions with peers and adults. ABA targets both foundational skills (such as joint attention and turn-taking) and more advanced social behaviours (such as understanding emotions, problem-solving, and engaging in group activities).
Play Skills
The play skills domain targets the development of functional, imaginative, and social play that supports learning, creativity, and relationship building. Play is a critical way children explore their environment, practice new skills, and engage with peers.
Independence
This domain focuses on teaching daily living skills that help individuals care for themselves and function more independently across home, school, and community settings. These skills are essential for increasing confidence, reducing reliance on caregivers, and improving overall quality of life.

Consulting
Future Focus Behaviour Consulting is owned and operated by Rebecca Frederick. Rebecca grew up in Saskatchewan, acquiring a bachelors degree in Kinesiology with a minor in psychology from the University of Saskatchewan.
From 2016-2019, Rebecca worked under the supervision of a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) providing interventions for a child out of his home.
Rebecca moved to the Dawson Creek area in 2022, after getting engaged to her now - husband. They live on an acerage and Rebecca enjoys being back to the farm lifestyle.
In 2024, Rebecca began her masters degree through the Florida Institute of Technology. She has been acquiring her fieldwork hours with Scilla Behaviour Support Services in Fort St. John, BC. Rebecca graduated with her masters degree in December 2025. Once obtaining all fieldwork hours, she will sit for the board exam to become a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst.
Rebecca believes that every individual is different and deserves individualized services tailored to fit their specific needs. Rebecca has worked with individuals of varying abilities and skill levels, for 15 years.
Future Focus Behaviour Consulting is dedicated to shaping brighter futures by empowering individuals with the skills, confidence, and independence they need to thrive. Through compassionate care, evidence-based practices, and strong family partnerships, we create meaningful change that lasts a lifetime.
Strategies used in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
Positive Reinforcement
Encouraging desired behaviours by providing something motivating after the desired behaviour occurs.
Prompt Fading
Providing the individual with the support to learn a new skill, then gradually reducing assistance until the skill can be performed independently.
Task Analysis
Breaking complex skills into smaller, more manageable steps and teaching those steps one at a time.
Shaping
Providing reinforcement for approximations of a behaviour and systematically increasing the steps until the full skill is acquired.
Functional Communication Training
Teaching appropriate ways for an individual to communicate their wants and needs, replacing the challenging behaviour.
ABC's
A documentation style used to understand why a behaviour happens by looking at what occurs right before the behaviour, what the behaviour looks like and what happens right after a behaviour.
APPROACH
The behaviour analytic approach used in ABA looks at how a child’s environment affects their behaviour and learning. Skills are taught by breaking them into small, manageable steps and using strategies like positive reinforcement to encourage progress. Strategies are individualized and adjusted based on what works best for each child.
BENEFITS
Science that speaks for itself
Evidence
ABA is backed by decades of research showing it helps children learn important skills and reduce behaviours that interfere with daily life.
Individualized
Programs are tailored to each child’s strengths, needs, and goals, making learning meaningful and effective.
Practical
Skills taught in ABA support success at home, school, and in the community, with strategies families can use every day.
