Specialised Behaviour Supports

Supporting Individuals. Empowering Positive Change.

Connecting Palms deliver compassionate and professional behavioral support services for individuals living with disabilities who experience complex or challenging behaviours. Our goal is to create a safe, consistent, and empowering environment where clients can thrive — not just be managed.

Whether you're seeking proactive intervention, long-term support, or family education, our team works closely with clients, carers, and support networks to implement evidence- based strategies tailored to each individual.

With experience across NDIS behavior support pathways, we serve clients in South Australia, Queensland, and Victoria — including specialised services for children, youth, and adults. 

What Are Specialised Behaviour Supports?

NDIS behavior support is designed to reduce and manage challenging behaviours that may affect quality of life, personal safety, or social participation. These services include functional assessments, positive behaviour support plans, and training for carers and staff.

Behaviour support helps address:

• Aggression or self-injury

• Social withdrawal or isolation

• Emotional dysregulation

• Communication difficulties

• Resistance to daily routines or transitions

At Connecting Palms, we believe in proactive care — building capability, not dependence. 

Our Behaviour Support Services Include:

Comprehensive Behaviour Assessments

Every successful plan starts with understanding. We begin by conducting thorough assessments that explore:

• Environmental triggers and patterns

• Communication barriers

• Current support strategies and their effectiveness

•   Medical and psychological history

This allows our team to design highly personalised, strengths-based support for challenging behaviors that are sustainable and respectful. 

Positive Behaviour Support Plans

We develop practical, NDIS-compliant behaviour support plans that focus on:

• Building emotional regulation and self-awareness

• Replacing challenging behaviours with safer, more functional alternatives

• Educating families, carers, and support workers

• Aligning behavior strategies with lifestyle goals and daily routines

These plans are reviewed regularly and adapted based on outcomes and feedback. 

Therapy and Skill-Building Sessions

Our behavior practitioners provide individualized disability behavior therapy that includes:

• Emotional regulation coaching

• Conflict resolution and communication support

• Sensory strategies and calming tools

• Social skills development

• Reinforcement-based learning

We empower individuals with tools they can use in everyday situations — at home, school, or in the community.

Family & Staff Training

We offer guidance and hands-on training for families, schools, and care staff to ensure consistent, unified support across all settings. This includes:

• Managing high-stress scenarios

• Understanding behaviour triggers

• Encouraging positive interactions

• Monitoring behaviour progress effectively

We create a shared understanding of what works — and how to deliver it.
