Can behaviour therapy support children with dual diagnoses (e.g. autism and anxiety)?

Yes. Many NDIS participants have more than one diagnosis, such as autism and anxiety, or intellectual disability and ADHD. Behaviour therapy is highly adaptable and can be tailored to address overlapping needs.

For example, a child with autism and anxiety may receive therapy focused on routines and communication, while also incorporating exposure therapy or emotional regulation strategies to manage anxiety symptoms. Therapists often collaborate with psychologists, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists to provide a well-rounded, holistic approach to care.

NDIS plans can fund multiple therapies under different categories (e.g. Improved Daily Living, Improved Relationships), ensuring your child gets the comprehensive support they need.
