Positive Behaviour Support Services

We understand that all behaviour serves a function, and offer effective, trauma-informed specialist behaviour support services that are individualistic and focus on the person’s strengths.

We use a variety of comprehensive assessment tools to assess the person’s individual needs, and develop plans that are functionally and socially significant for the person and their families.

OUR PROCESS:

Individuals, parents, support coordinators or other disability services can refer a participant to Centacare SW NSW for services.

Upon receiving a referral, the Behaviour Support Practitioner at Centacare South West NSW will check there is Improved Relationships funding allocated in the individual’s NDIS Plan. This is an important step in the process, as it is a requirement for accessing Specialist Behaviour Support under the NDIS. We will then work with you and your support team to arrange a suitable time for an intake appointment.

During the intake appointment, our Behaviour Support Practitioner will work from a person centred or family centred approach to understand your individual needs. This is done to best support you to achieve positive outcomes for you or your participant. Our intake appointment can be either face-to-face, via telehealth or over the phone, and takes approximately 1-1.5 hours. Our Behaviour Support Practitioner will work with you and your support team on the following:

• Interim Support and Safety Plan.
