A behavioural therapist is a trained professional who helps individuals—particularly children with developmental, neurological, or behavioural conditions—learn more functional behaviours and reduce behaviours of concern. Their work is rooted in evidence-based practices like Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). Under the NDIS in Australia, behavioural therapists support participants by assessing behavioural needs, identifying underlying causes of challenging behaviours, and implementing structured interventions that are ethical, person-centred, and focused on improving quality of life. They often work collaboratively with families, teachers, allied health professionals, and support workers.
