Lital Rotman Gruneir (PhD, BCBA, RBA)

Registered Behaviour Analyst

Lital provides behaviour analytic services to children and youth between the ages of 2 and 18, with a current clinical focus on tweens and teens. She partners closely with caregivers to develop individualized behavioural programs that emphasize self-determination, independence, self-advocacy, and values-based goal setting. Areas of focus include self-regulation, conversational and social skills, executive functioning, and the development of adaptive life skills.

​

Her programs are grounded in Applied Behaviour Analysis and incorporate evidence-based practices, including positive reinforcement, antecedent-based interventions, functional behaviour assessments, and behaviour analytic treatment strategies. She also offers phone consultations for parents seeking guidance on behavioural challenges at home, at school, or in the community.
