Specialist Behaviour Support
My Disability Practitioners is an NDIS Registered Provider of Specialist Behaviour Support under Capacity Building – Improved Relationships. Our Specialist Behaviour Support Practitioners are tertiary‑qualified and experienced in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). PBS is one of the most well‑researched and effective approaches for reducing behaviours of concern and building meaningful skills across the lifespan.
What is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support focuses on understanding why behaviours occur and supporting people to build the skills they need, so they no longer rely on behaviours of concern to communicate needs or manage emotions.
Rather than simply managing behaviour, PBS aims to:
• Increase independence and quality of life
• Improve communication and emotional regulation
• Strengthen relationships and participation
• Reduce the need for restrictive practices over time
How Behaviour Support Works
Behaviour Support differs from therapy because it focuses on the whole support system, not just one‑to‑one sessions.
Our practitioners work collaboratively with:
• Participants
• Families
• Support workers
• Providers and services
We assess the function of behaviours and develop clear, practical Behaviour Support Plans that guide everyone involved in the person’s life to respond consistently and safely.
Restrictive Practices
Where restrictive practices are required to ensure safety, our accredited practitioners:
• Undertake required assessments
• Develop compliant Behaviour Support Plans
• Provide documentation and reporting aligned with NDIS and NSW regulatory requirements
Our team has extensive experience supporting participants with complex needs while working toward reducing reliance on restrictive practices wherever possible.
Improved Daily Living
Under Improved Daily Living we provide evidence‑based capacity building therapeutic support and assessments that build independence, emotional wellbeing and everyday life skills.
Therapy Services
Our psychologists and therapists provide individually tailored, evidence‑based interventions for children, adolescents and adults in a safe and supportive environment.
Areas of support include:
- Teaching new skills
- Increasing positive and adaptive behaviours
- Maintaining and generalising skills over time
Progress is tracked by:
- Defining goals clearly and objectively
- Measuring behaviour or skills before intervention
- Reviewing progress over time
- Providing evidence of improvement and ongoing need for NDIS plan reviews
Functional Assessments
Our assessments are suitable for NDIS planning, reviews and change of circumstances requests. We provide comprehensive assessments to support access to:
- Increased capacity building supports
- Complex funding requests involving behaviour of concern
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Supervision
My Disability Practitioners provide fee‑for‑service clinical supervision for Behaviour Support Practitioners using the NDIS Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Capability Framework as the foundation for safe, ethical and evidence‑based practice. The Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework sets out the minimum knowledge, skills, professional behaviours and safeguards required of practitioners delivering behaviour support under the NDIS. Our supervision model supports practitioners to meet NDIS suitability requirements, work within scope, and progressively develop capability across all domains of PBS practice.
All supervision is delivered by Senior Specialist Behaviour Support Practitioners with extensive experience in NDIS Specialist Behaviour Support and PBS Capability Framework oversight.
Our framework aligned model of supervision is mapped to the seven capability domains of the PBS Capability Framework. Supervision sessions are structured to ensure that practitioners can demonstrate, reflect on and strengthen their capability in each domain.
We supervise practitioners to:
- Understand their current scope of competency (Core, Proficient, Advanced or Specialist)
- Develop priorities within the PBS Capability Framework to build capability
We provide guidance in:
- Functional Behavioural Assessment methodology
- Translating assessment data into effective Behaviour Support Plans
- Aligning strategies with function, quality of life and skill development
- Developing compliant plans where restrictive practices are involved
Our fee for service supervision can assist practitioners who:
- Are seeking NDIS practitioner suitability
- Are needing external supervision to maintain suitability
- Are progressing their capability under the PBS Framework
- Are needing supervision specifically aligned with NDIS expectations
