Behaviour therapists collaborate with occupational therapists to address sensory-seeking or sensory-avoidant behaviours. Through NDIS-funded plans, they assess the purpose behind these actions—whether it's self-soothing, communication, or coping—and develop strategies that are safe and socially appropriate. For example, therapists may introduce chewable jewellery, sensory diets, or calming routines. Rather than stopping the behaviour outright, the goal is to understand and support the child’s sensory needs while reducing any safety concerns.
