Our team of qualified and experienced Behaviour Support Practitioners are trained in behaviour support strategies. They start with a functional capacity assessment and use that to prepare a behaviour support plan, in consultation with you and your family or support people.

The plan is aimed at making difficult behaviour unnecessary by removing the things that trigger, encourage or reward that behaviour. It will also teach you alternative and more appropriate behaviour to replace the difficult behaviour.

Your plan may cover:

• Improved communication and social skills
• Environmental changes (e.g. the home environment)
• Safe methods of response to unsafe behaviours
• Stress and anger management

A good plan will lead to more effective ways for you to communicate, resulting in improved relationships, better community participation, and a sense of independence over your own life.
