Behaviour support services

We work with individuals, families and their support networks to identify why behaviours of concern are occurring and provide strategies to manage them.

What is positive behaviour support?

Positive behaviour support is an evidence-based approach our therapists use to support individuals who display behaviours of concern. It is also used to help families and support networks respond more effectively to individuals who display these behaviours.

The first step in positive behaviour support is to identify why the behaviours of concern are occurring. Once we understand what the person is trying to tell us with their behaviour, we can develop strategies to better support them.

Achieve goals with behaviour support

Every behaviour support program is customised to the family and young person’s individual goals. This may include focusing on:

  • Behaviour and coping skills
  • Communication skills
  • Social skills
  • Cognitive skills
  • Daily living skills
  • Self-regulation and understanding emotions

How do our therapists work with individuals and their families?

Our therapists will work with individuals, families and their support networks, including education staff and other health professionals, to identify why behaviours of concern are occurring and provide strategies to manage and prevent these behaviours.

Our behaviour therapists work as part of our trans-disciplinary therapy team helping autistic individuals address any challenges they may be faced with and achieve goals meaningful to them.

Services are tailored to the unique needs of individuals. They can be provided at our centre, at home, school, in the community or online via telehealth.
