The BIT exists within Shrink & Co.'s ecosystem of supports to ensure clients in need of behavioural based supports gain access to an entire team with the understanding that it takes multiple people with multiple skills to solve complex behavioural issues. The Occupational Therapist operates within the BIT under the BIT Discipline Lead and will deliver services collaboratively with the Lead Practitioner, or as a Lead Practitioner alongside the rest of the BIT.
