The role of a behavioural therapist is multifaceted and extends beyond one-on-one sessions with the child. They begin by conducting a comprehensive Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) to understand what drives certain behaviours. Using this assessment, they develop a personalised Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) that outlines positive strategies to reduce behaviours of concern and teach new skills. Therapists also support families and carers through training and coaching, helping them apply strategies in real-life settings. In the NDIS framework, behavioural therapists are required to reduce or eliminate restrictive practices and ensure interventions align with the participant's NDIS goals and overall wellbeing.
