Specialist Behaviour Support

Two levels of NDIS funding available for behaviour support

Specialist Behaviour Intervention Support

This is for harmful behaviours.The Behaviour Support Plan could include the use of temporary restrictive practices which are things that limit the rights of a person, like being able to move around freely.

Behaviour Support Plan and training

This includes information about the triggers of the behaviours and how to reduce or stop it from happening all together. Our registered Behaviour Support Practitioners can work with participants therapists to put together a Behaviour Support Plan that includes strategies and training to support the participants and their families.

This is a highly specialised intensive support interventions aiming at addressing significantly harmful or persistent behaviours of concern. Diligent Care Services Mental Health Nurses will assist the development of positive behaviour support plans.

These plans focus on increasing a person’s quality of life including improving their skills and enhancing their independence. The goal is to decrease harmful and challenging behaviours through increasing skills, improving emotion regulation and progressively introducing replacement of harmful behaviours with positive behaviours. To develop such a plan, we start by an assessment which includes a functional behaviour assessment, then a plan is developed and implemented with training and regular follow up and review.

Our NDIS Commission registered mental health practitioners use evidence-based processes and practices to deliver positive outcomes that are measurable and sustainable for people with disability and their families/friends/carers/support workers.
