Although not a formal psychological framework, the 3 C's of behavioural therapy—Clarity, Consistency, and Communication—offer a practical guide for families and support teams. Clarity involves setting clear expectations, rules, and instructions so the child knows what is expected of them. Consistency means applying behavioural strategies, such as rewards or routines, in the same way across different settings and people. Without consistency, children may receive mixed signals, making learning more difficult. Communication ensures that all parties—parents, teachers, therapists, and support workers—are aligned and informed about the child’s goals and progress. This trio of principles is especially effective in Positive Behaviour Support under NDIS, where the goal is to empower families and reduce behaviours of concern across all aspects of the child’s life.
