Gateway Behaviour Services' programs are supervised by Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs) and facilitated by highly-trained Behaviour Interventionists. Providing effective services requires a team effort and we believe families are integral members of the treatment team.
 
We have created a model for our staff to collaborate on treatment approaches, share best practices, and continuously learn from one another. Your child will be supported, not just by his or her immediate team, but also by the experience and expertise of all of our clinicians.

Leigh is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), Category A Behaviour Consultant on the Registry of Autism Service Providers (RASP), and the Clinical Director of Gateway Behaviour Services (GBS). Leigh co-founded GBS with the mission to provide high quality and accessible behavioural services to families in northern British Columbia. Her passion for helping individuals with special needs stems from personal experience with her nephew who has autism.

She received her bachelor's degree in Criminology from Vancouver Island University and Masters of Science with a Specialization in Behaviour Analysis from Saint Joseph's University.
