我們的故事 …
P.L.A.I.成立於2012年6月,當時我們的創辦人Dianna Yip從加拿大搬到香港, 因為她發現當地缺乏靈活且高品質的行為干預服務,並無法滿足家庭的需求。 因為Dianna深信每個家庭都應該獲得減少壓力並提高生活質量的服務,因此P.L.A.I.提供個性化的家庭行爲干預服務,以滿足每個家庭獨特的需求。
多年來,我們不斷擴展我們的服務,以滿足亞太地區社區的需求。 除了一對一的干預外,我們還提供學校支援服務、學校和家庭的諮詢、家長和輔助專業人員培訓、行為分析師應考人的督導等等。 我們以我們合乎資格且充滿熱情的顧問和治療師團隊而感到自豪! 因為我們都有著相同的價值觀和願景 — “通過他們的美德和優勢,支持我們的客戶成為社會的有價值的成員”。
“永遠不要懷疑一小群有思想、有奉獻精神的公民可以改變世界;事實上,這是唯一擁有的東西。“
