“Behaviour is a story. What is the behaviour communicating. Why that behaviour now? What needs understanding? What needs to be taught? Our reactions determine if we will fill the need or remain stuck. Pause. Ask good questions. Be curious. This is what the child needs most. ”
“I think the hardest part of having a child with a delay of any kind is the fight: The fight for services. The fight for people to understand who your child is and what they need. The fight for knowledge, because knowledge is power. And the quiet fight you have within yourself wondering if you’ve left no stone unturned.”
Fees are affordable and substantially reduced from 1:1 private counseling sessions. We do have a sliding scale and families can request FERN Therapy Funds application at time of intake if required. Some families may apply for other Funding options (e.g. President Choice Charity). Some employee benefits may cover the cost of sessions. FERN is committed to ensuring that no one is turned away due to their inability to pay for service.
