Treatment Mapping™ is a unique two-hour personalized consultation which reviews a range of assessment information about a child's strengths and challenges and provides a "Treatment Map" for parents including a first-steps action plan.

Parents complete an in-depth Child and Family History Survey and submit all relevant assessments, diagnoses and reports. Observation of the parent-child interaction (through video or on-site in-person) is also required and used for assessment. Each Treatment Map addresses a child's needs from a Multi-Treatment perspective including biomedical treatment if needed, cognitive and behavioural education and Attitudinal Fitness™ strategies. The Treatment Map outlines the widest range of options possible customized to an individual family's goals and resources.

Please contact us to schedule a Treatment Mapping™ consultation.

"In a nut shell, Jonathan is a genius. His capacity of knowledge in the field of autism is immense. More importantly however, is his ability to share his knowledge in easily digestible points. I have learned an enormous amount in the past two years working with him and have seen remarkable changes in my recovering autistic daughter. If you embark on a journey with Jonathan and execute his ideas you will undoubtedly experience success for yourself and your child."

-- Grace Khon-Shea, Alberta, Canada "This was the most informative, interesting and educational course CAS has offered. This speaker knows his stuff; not a minute was wasted, and his love and excitement in this area are contagious. You could have heard a pin drop, he had everyones attention. Fabulous course, brilliant speaker!" -- Parent, Participant at Children's Aid Society Workshop, London, Ontario "I feel like in three months I have grown more as a person than ever before. Through IMTI I have developed new ways of viewing challenging situations as well as approaching life more positively. I am very grateful for the input you have had in my life this summer and over the last few years working as a volunteer-therapist for your program. I know that I would be a very different person today if I had never met these special families and been connected with IMTI. So thanks again."

-- Laura Hounsell, College Student, Volunteer-Therapist
