Behaviour Disorders

Are you concerned because your child or adolescent:

Difficult behaviour can be the result of any number of influences, and a behaviour disorder is often caused by more than one factor. Behaviour disorders can be categorized into two main types: conduct disorders and oppositional defiant disorders. Conduct disorders can be characterized by a disrespect for authority, little regard for the basic rights of others, defiance of major societal rules, physical or verbal aggression, intimidation and/or truancy. Signs of an oppositional defiant disorder may include argumentativeness, a tendency to blame others, frequent tantrums, a propensity to anger easily, and/or bullying.

To uncover the motivation behind your child?s conduct, we?ll start with an assessment for treatment that will include an evaluation of their behavior, emotions, attitudes, and self-esteem. This would be done using specialized questionnaires and interviews, following which an individualized treatment plan can be developed.
