Benefits of making a referral to Therapia
Positive Behaviour Support for NDIS Participants
Positive Behaviour Support is a core NDIS funded service designed to improve quality of life for participants presenting with behaviours of concern. At Therapia, our Behaviour Support Practitioners support NDIS participants with autism, intellectual disability, ADHD, psychosocial disability, and complex behavioural presentations. Our person centred approach looks beyond behaviour to understand emotional, sensory, and communication needs, building genuine capacity rather than short term compliance. Every Behaviour Support Plan is grounded in Applied Behaviour Analysis and current evidence based practice, with a strong focus on reducing restrictive practices. We support children, adolescents, and adults across home, school, and community settings.
When to Refer for PBS?
Knowing when to refer for PBS helps participants access support before behaviours of concern escalate. Consider a referral when a participant shows aggression, self injurious behaviour, property destruction, school refusal, or emotional regulation difficulties that impact daily life. Early referral is also appropriate for new NDIS participants requiring a Functional Behaviour Assessment, families needing practical strategies, or support teams managing restrictive practices that require reduction planning. Support coordinators should refer as soon as behavioural concerns are identified, rather than waiting for a crisis. Therapia accepts referrals at any stage and will advise honestly on urgency, suitability, and expected wait times.
What Our PBS Service Includes?
Our PBS Service includes a full pathway of evidence based Positive Behaviour Support, from initial assessment through to long term capacity building. This includes Functional Behaviour Assessments, interim and comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans, restrictive practice reduction and elimination planning, parent and caregiver training, and emotional regulation support. Our Behaviour Support Practitioners collaborate with schools, therapists, and support workers to ensure strategies are practical and consistently applied. We offer flexible telehealth and in person appointments across Western, Northern, Eastern, and South Melbourne, plus regional Victoria. Every service is delivered with ongoing review and monitoring to ensure meaningful, sustainable outcomes for NDIS participants.
