Alicia Indovino, Behaviour Consultant
social & academic nourishment outside of the classroom
More About Me
I currently work in a Primary Behaviour classroom with The Toronto District School Board, where I...
-Support students with their academics, social skills and life skills
-Provide support for students with special needs and assist them with the development of their basic life skills and academic work
-Review student IEP's (Individual Education Plan), and implement strategies to support their learning
-Teach and implement Zones of Regulation to help student self regulate
-Find resources for students and their families
​
I am trained in UMAB (Understanding and Managing Aggressive Behaviour), CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention), ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), First Aid and CPR. I have my Child and Youth Work Diploma from George Brown College and I am currently in the process of receiving my Child and Youth Counselor Degree at Ryerson University.
I believe that building strong therapeutic relationships with children and youth comes first. I learn more about their hobbies and interests, so that our conversations can be fruitful and I can share in their interests with them. They enjoy basketball, let's go shoot some hoops together. They like Minecraft, let's play Minecraft and talk about what they are working on as an individual while we have fun.
Services
Promising Personalized Guidance Every Step of the Way
Academic Assistance
I assist your child with their homework, prepare for tests and provide supplemental work. I am available to travel to your home or nearest library.
As a parent it can be difficult to find ways to assist our children with their homework. IÂ sit with parents &Â find ways to create a positive learning environment at home.
Children and Youth Workshops
From social skills, self regulation, confidence and life skills, group workshops are a fun way to learn and empower children and youth.
Please look out for postings of upcoming workshops, and feel free to let me know of topics for workshops that you are interested in seeing being held. You can find me on Meetup where I post more information about upcoming workshops.

One-on-One
Whether your child needs someone to take them out into the community, work on social skills or self regulation, I am able to work one on one with them.
IÂ work closely with parents, creating routine's that create stability and working on techniques for parent's to continue what I have worked on, in their own way.
Words From Clients
My son has had the pleasure of working with Ms. I. Â He would come home and talk about the life skills that she would consistently tell him. Â How she sat down with him and actually did activities with him, no other CYW had done that for him till today. Â I highly recommend working with Ms. I as she is very knowledgeable in her field. Â If I had it my way she would be my son's CYW for the rest of his educational years. Â She is a GEM.
-Parent
Alicia has helped us a great deal. Although we originally hired her to work with our special needs child, she ended up supporting our entire family through problem solving, goal setting and emotional support.
-Parent
When I first met Alicia, I honestly clicked right away. She talked to me a lot one-on-one. (Which is the way that works best for me.) We can talk about basically anything... that's something I love about her! She is very patient, organized and helpful. One of the best things about Alicia is how she gets to know you! I haven't known her for that long, however it definitely feels like longer! Thank you Alicia!
