Information for Support Coordinators
We understand the importance of timely and effective support for your participants in Vermont, Melbourne. Our process begins with a practical Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) to identify the underlying needs driving complex behaviours. We then move into collaborative planning with all stakeholders to ensure the resulting Behaviour Support Plan is both comprehensive and usable.
Behaviour Support Plans are generally released within approximately three months of engagement. However, our focus remains on the implementation phase—providing the necessary coaching and practical strategies to ensure the plan translates into meaningful change for the participant and their support network.
