Who might need Positive Behaviour Support?

Our behaviour therapy services focus on understanding behaviours, building practical skills, and supporting participation in everyday environments. Strategies are developed collaboratively with individuals, families, carers, and support teams to ensure consistency across home, school, and community settings.

  • Functional behaviour assessment

We conduct structured assessments to understand the purpose of behaviours and identify contributing factors such as communication needs, environmental triggers, and support systems. Information gathered through observation, discussion, and the review of existing reports guides the development of practical, individualised strategies.
