NDIS Behavioural Support - Our Focus
Our focus is to help identify triggers, setting events, consequences and other factors within a participants life that increase their likelihood of them exhibiting behaviours of concern.
Through identifying the true function of the behaviour, we are able to find different evidence based pathways for them to meet this need in a healthier less dangerous way.
