Sheila Bakhtiani, M.Ed., BCBA

Providing holistic and evidence-based behaviour support where children can learn, play, and thrive.

Welcome to Thriving Children. My name is Sheila Bakhtiani and I am a RASP certified Behaviour Consultant with over a decade of experience supporting both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, along with their circles of support in home, school, and community settings.  As a neurodivergent-affirming practitioner, I specialize in a holistic approach to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), using child-led therapy to foster positive behavioural changes and teach essential skills, such as self-regulation.  The goal is to help children reach their full potential and thrive.


As a fellow mom, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting, and believe being an informed parent is the key to effectively supporting our children in their growth and development. That's why Thriving Children was created, a platform where my favourite resources are shared to help you on your parenting journey. My mission is to empower parents, so they can empower their little ones with confidence. Hope to meet you soon!
