Frequently Asked Questions
How do your "person-centred approaches" specifically shape a behaviour support plan?
We build plans around the individual's unique needs, goals, and preferences—not the behaviour itself. This ensures strategies are respectful, relevant, and empowering for the participant.
Can you give an example of an evidence-based practice you use?
We utilise strategies derived from Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), which is an evidence-based framework focused on teaching new skills and modifying environments to reduce challenging behaviours.
What does "overseeing restrictive practices" involve, given you state you do not implement them?
We oversee by conducting necessary assessments and creating plans to safely reduce and eliminate the need for any existing restrictive practices, in line with NDIS regulations and a commitment to human rights.
How do you involve families and support workers in the process?
We provide ongoing training and coaching for families and support workers, equipping them with consistent, safe, and effective response strategies to de-escalate situations and reinforce positive behaviours.
What is included in a specialist behaviour support plan beyond managing crises?
Our plans are proactive, not just reactive. They include skill-building goals, environmental adjustments, and communication strategies to improve quality of life and prevent behaviours from escalating.
How do you support individuals who are non-verbal or have communication-related challenges?
A key part of our assessment is identifying communication barriers. We develop alternative communication strategies to help individuals express their needs, which often significantly reduces behavioural incidents.
What is the difference between a Behaviour Support Plan and a Crisis Plan?
The Behaviour Support Plan is a comprehensive, proactive strategy for long-term change. The Crisis Plan is a specific, reactive protocol for immediate de-escalation during high-risk situations to ensure safety.
How do you handle situations involving both a mental health condition and an intellectual disability?
Our specialists are trained in dual diagnosis. We integrate behaviour support principles with mental health awareness to create a cohesive plan that addresses both aspects without conflict.
What ongoing support can we expect after the initial plan is implemented?
We provide continuous coaching, regular plan reviews, and are available for consultation to adjust strategies as the individual progresses and their needs evolve.
