SPECIALIST BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
Behaviour Support at Neurobloom looks like:
- Person-centred, evidenced based interventions through developmental and attachment-based modalities, strength based, solution focused supports.
- Early intervention practice-based principles applied to the therapy space with the child and nominated caregiver(s). Such as Theraplay, P.A.C.E and family therapy.
- An individualised intervention plan with families and education personal to understand the child's behaviours and develop the child’s social systems care capacity and child’s ability to thrive across the different environments.
- Training in holistic strategies and psychoeducation on how to implement the child's Behaviour Support Plan.
- Assisting the child, family, and their community to learn new skills to understand and safely navigate their own behaviour.
- Goal focused strategies aimed at reducing your child's engagement in behaviours that may result in them hurting themselves or others.
- Tailored interdisciplinary consultation and co-designed therapeutic intervention to reduce if not mitigate restrictive practices over time.
This typically involves a range of sessions with your child, and family, as well as necessary community-based systems such as pre-school, primary school, or high school to scaffold new skills, and strategies while raising awareness to understand the function of behaviours and how to meet needs that are currently not being met.
Our practitioner is highly skilled and endorsed at Specialist level of expertise against the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission PBS Practitioner Capability suitability assessment.
Behaviour support is about creating individualised strategies for people with disability and where assessed, co-occurring developmental trauma. Behaviour support is responsive to the person’s needs, in a way that reduces the occurrence and impact of behaviours of concern and minimises the use of restrictive practices.
Under the NDIS Commission, behaviour support focuses on person-centred interventions to address the underlying causes of behaviours of concern or challenging behaviours, while safeguarding the dignity and quality of life of people with disability who require specialist behaviour support.
