Services
Our services include:
Neurodivergent-Affirming FBAs and PBSPs
We develop Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSPs) that explain how our clients navigate the world and what they need from their environment to feel safe, regulated, and supported. These plans help ensure their needs are met as efficiently and consistently as possible. Legislatively, we need to refer to these plans as PBSPs and the assessments we conduct as Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBAs) to ensure our clients use the appropriate funding category; however, we do not practice applied behaviour analysis in any way. We acknowledge the significant harm applied behaviour analysis has caused autistic individuals and actively reject any practice utilising applied behaviour analysis strategies. Read about our process here.
Developmental Educator (DE)
As an allied health professional, a DE specialises in providing adults and children with disorders or disabilities with practical help so that they can attain their independence. Some of their clients may include people who are autistic or who have intellectual, physical and neurological disabilities. They work closely with families and caregivers, and other allied health professionals who may be involved in the support of an individual.

Funding Options
Our clients often use NDIS funding for our services, however, we are also happy to discuss private arrangements. When using NDIS funds, we are able to bill out of several different categories based on the type of services we are providing. We most commonly provide Specialist Behaviour Intervention which we bill out of the Improved Relationships category.
