Behaviour Intervention Support
The NDIS funds specialised behaviour intervention support which, as outlined by the NDIS Commission, is about creating individualised strategies with people experiencing disability &/or mental health challenges that are responsive to the person’s needs, in a way that reduces occurrence and impacts of behaviours of concern and minimises the use of restrictive practices.
Under the NDIS Commission, ‘behaviour intervention support focuses on person-centred interventions to address the underlying causes of behaviours of concern or challenging behaviours, while safeguarding the dignity and quality of life of people with disability &/or mental health challenges who require specialist behaviour support.’
What is a Behaviour Support Plan?
A Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) is a document produced by a registered behaviour specialist which is developed to address complex behaviours of concern in order to improve the quality of a participant’s life and reduce the use of restrictive practices.
Who can develop a Behaviour Support Plan?
Only registered providers who are approved by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission can provide behaviour support or develop a behaviour support plan.
Further information regarding Behaviour Support and Behaviour Support Plans can be found at: www.ndiscommission.gov.au/providers/behaviour-support.
Our facilitators are independent and have no connection with any service provider or funding body, participants are free to discuss any situation in a safe and confidential environment. Our facilitators are experienced planners that will work with you and your unique set of circumstances to support you to describe your life right now and what it will take to get to a more desirable future.
