How is behaviour support different from other therapies?

Behaviour support focuses on understanding why behaviours occur and teaching new, safer alternatives. Unlike general counselling or occupational therapy:

  • It addresses behaviours of concern directly

  • Uses data-driven assessments (like FBAs)

  • Involves family and carers in the plan

  • Often includes oversight for restrictive practices

It’s typically used alongside other therapies like speech or OT for a well-rounded NDIS support plan.
