A behavioural support specialist is a trained professional who helps people with disability manage behaviours of concern. In the NDIS context, they are registered Behaviour Support Practitioners approved by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Their aim is to enhance the individual’s quality of life through positive behaviour change.
They take a strengths-based approach that:
-
Respects the individual’s rights
-
Reduces the need for restrictive practices
-
Involves carers, teachers, and family in the support process
They play a key role in the early intervention and long-term development of children with autism, ADHD, developmental delay, and other disabilities.
