FAQ
1. How can behaviour therapy help me?
Behaviour therapy can help you by addressing challenging behaviours and teaching new, positive behaviours. Our Behaviour Therapists use techniques such as positive reinforcement, behaviour modification, and skills training to help children develop better social, communication, and daily living skills. This can lead to improved functioning at home, school, and in social settings. For more information, you can contact our friendly team on 1300 009 006.
2. What is a Behaviour Interim Management Plan (BIMP) under the NDIS, and how can it help?
A Behaviour Interim Management Plan (BIMP) is designed to manage
challenging behaviours while a comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan is being developed under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The BIMP outlines immediate, practical steps to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual and those around them. It provides caregivers and support workers with clear guidelines on how to respond to specific behaviours, implement positive behaviour support strategies, and reduce the need for restrictive practices. The BIMP is a crucial tool for maintaining stability and safety during the transition period to a more detailed, long-term plan. Our behaviour therapists are qualified to complete both Behaviour Interim Management Plan and Behaviour Support Plans. To enquire, please contact our friendly team on 1300 009 006.
3. Can the behaviour therapist travel to the environments that have the behaviours of concerns?
Our Behaviour Therapists travel to different environments where challenging behaviours occur, such as home, school, or community settings. Observing and addressing behaviours in the natural environment can be very effective, as it allows the our behaviour therapists to understand the context and triggers of the behaviours. This approach enables our behaviour therapists to provide more accurate assessments and tailored interventions, ensuring that strategies are practical and applicable in the settings where they are most needed.
