Functional assessments
We are qualified to conduct Functional assessments that will identify areas of development needed for a NDIS participant to gain greater independence.
This could include skill building for:
- Daily living activities
- Communication and verbal behaviour
- Social skills
- Sequencing and scanning
We will work with participants to develop a support plan that will teach both the participant and their support team strategies for skills development and appropriate and positive behaviours.
Behaviour support
Early Intervention Childhood Behaviour Support can assist your child by identifying gaps in their developmental milestones and developing intervention plans to help them catch up.
This may include daily living skills such as:
- Toileting
- Social skills
- Listening and attending skills
- Preschool skills
- Independent play skills
- Visual perceptual skills
- Transition skills, and much more.
Your Behaviour Specialist can develop strategies with you to support your child’s challenging behaviour. These strategies can help address rigidity around routines, physical aggression, hyperactivity, obsessive compulsive behaviours, adaptability to change and more.
We can also support you to develop transition plans from preschool to school and assist in the development of individual education plans with your schools.
Specialist Behaviour Support
Specialist Behaviour Support is a specific category of support that helps participants develop an interim plan, or comprehensive behaviour support plan that may include some restrictive practices.
Behaviour Specialists can complete a Function Based Assessment to develop evidence and function-based interventions to address behaviours of concern.
Your Behaviour Specialist can assist you by:
- Explaining the legislation around Restrictive Practices and the Authorisation Process (if relevant)
- Training relevant stakeholders in the implementation of the Behaviour Support Plan
- Collaborating with medical professionals around medication management that influences behaviour as well as monitoring the effectiveness of the documented strategies.
