Before being trained as music therapists, several of us had previously worked as behaviour interventionists.

Behaviour intervention is a type of behavioural support that focuses on teaching skills in the areas of communication, self-regulation, daily life, routines, play, and leisure to encourage behaviours that could positively affect a child's wellbeing and relationships with self and others. Our therapists utilize their training in music to support a child's behavioural growth. For children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), we are eligible for funding as BIs (Behaviour Interventionists) through the AFU (the Government Autism Funding Unit).

He is a neurodivergent cis man of mixed Black ancestry who’s ancestors were brought to North America by way of the transatlantic slave trade. His family arrived in early Canada as escapees, eventually settling in Alberta.

Graduating from Capilano University’s Bachelor of Music Therapy Program in the Fall of 2016, Tyrone’s practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, social justice, and intersectional approach.
