The Bigger Picture

Living with or supporting someone with complex behaviours can be stressful, isolating, and overwhelming. It can feel like you're stuck in a cycle, and it’s hard to know where to turn. These behaviours are almost always a form of communication - a sign that a person's needs aren't being met, or that they are struggling to cope. Struggling doesn't mean failure. With the right support, you can understand the 'why' behind the behaviour and develop new, positive ways to communicate and thrive.

Understanding NDIS Behaviour Support

Signs that a Behaviour Support Practitioner could help include:

Behaviours that are challenging to manage at home, school, or in the community.
Behaviours that pose a risk of harm to the person or others.
Difficulty communicating needs, leading to frustration or "meltdowns."
Use of NDIS-regulated restrictive practices that you want to reduce or eliminate.
A need to coordinate support between different providers (like psychology, OT, and support workers) to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Feeling "stuck" and needing new, practical strategies to support your loved one's NDIS goals.

Our Approach To Positive Behaviour Support

At Unbound Minds, we provide NDIS-registered specialist Behaviour Support. Our approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. We don't just 'manage' behaviour; we seek to understand its function and build positive, new skills in its place. [Intro paragraph]

Support can include:

Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA): A comprehensive assessment to understand the triggers and purpose of a behaviour.
Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSP): Developing and implementing NDIS-compliant plans filled with practical, positive strategies.
Family & Carer Training: Coaching and hands-on support for families and support workers to help you confidently use the plan.
Reducing Restrictive Practices: Developing clear, safe plans to reduce and fade out the use of restrictive practices, as required by the NDIS Commission.

We also collaborate with your psychologist and other therapists to create a true wrap-around model. Our in-house team works together, so your psychologist can focus on underlying mental health while your BSP focuses on practical, in-context behavioural strategies. This ensures your care is seamless, not siloed. [Final paragraph]

Helpful Answers For Parents.

Here are answers to common questions about how our NDIS Behaviour Support service works at Unbound Minds.

What NDIS funding do I need for this service?

This service is funded under the 'Capacity Building – Improved Relationships' (CB – Improved Relationships) support category in your NDIS plan. If you're unsure if you have this in your plan, our admin team can help you check.

Do I need to be a psychology client at Unbound Minds to access this?

No, you can access our Behaviour Support service on its own. However, the greatest benefit of our clinic is the 'wrap-around' model. We can discuss your specific needs and help you decide the best pathway when you enquire.

How does your BSP work with my psychologist?

You are not required to see one of our psychologists to access our BSP. However, if a participant does need support for both mental health and complex behaviours, our in-house model is a key advantage. Your practitioners can consult directly and share strategies, ensuring your care is perfectly aligned and saving you the stress of managing two separate providers.

What does the assessment and plan process involve

It starts with a comprehensive assessment where your practitioner gets to know you, your family, and your supports by talking and observing. We then draft the Positive Behaviour Support Plan in collaboration with you. Finally, we move to implementation, which involves training your support network and reviewing the plan regularly to ensure it's working.

Do your practitioners do visits to homes or schools?

Yes. Positive Behaviour Support is most effective when applied in the real-world environment. As funded in your NDIS plan, our practitioners can conduct assessments and provide training in the settings where support is needed, such as your home, school, or day program.
