Incredible Years

AYSP also offers The Incredible Years Program which includes: a) The Incredible Years Basic Parent Training Program- a structured curriculum designed for parents/caregivers of a child age 3 to 8 who is exhibiting oppositional, conduct, or hyperactive disordered behavior; and b) The Dina Dinosaur Social Skills program – a structured, small-group children’s training program designed to promote appropriate classroom behaviours, positive social skills, and non-aggressive ways to solve common conflicts.

The Incredible Years program runs for 13 consecutive sessions, 2 hours per week, and is offered once per year (winter). The Dina program, for children age 4 to 8, is a sub-component of the Incredible Years curriculum and is run by AYSP in conjunction with the Basic Parent program.

Note: Referrals are accepted from AYSP internal programs, Centralized Intake for Children and Youth Mental Health Services partner agencies, and the Mississauga Parent Child Resource Centre.

The Group Services Program Supervisor is available to answer any questions you may have regarding the referral process or program criteria.
