Frequently Asked Questions

How do the Improved Daily Living programs differ from Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support (Positive Behaviour Support)?

Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support (Positive Behaviour Support)

Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support (Positive Behaviour Support) provides tailored strategies for individuals with a disability who use major challenging behaviours and may have restrictive practices in place. These tailored strategies are designed to meet the unique needs of the individual while reducing and eventually eliminating the need for restrictive practices. Participants with Improved Relationships or Behaviour Support Funding in their NDIS will receive this service.

Improved Daily Living Programs

Improved Daily Living programs apply the core principles of positive behaviour support to help individuals develop healthier habits and reduce challenging behaviours. The programs are designed to support people with moderate behaviours of concerns to achieve specific outcomes. Participants with Improved Daily Living Funding or who are receiving Early Childhood Supports can access this program.

What are challenging behaviours and how can they stop me from reaching my potential?

Challenging behaviours, also known as behaviours of concern, are defined as behaviours that:

Put you or others at risk of harm (physical, emotional or psychological)
Limits your access to community activities, education, and support services
Or significantly impacts your quality of life in various ways.

For example, you might find it hard to control your reactions, present aggression and socially disruptive behaviour (e.g. screaming, verbal aggressions, physical aggression), run away, cause property damage or not be able to follow routines. These behaviours can stop you from learning new things, connecting with others or enjoying your day-to-day living.

How does the practitioner who delivers the Improved Daily Living program work with the broader therapy team and my support network?

Our practitioners work with your therapy team (like your Occupational Therapist or Speech Pathologist) and the people who support you (like your family or carers). We all work together to help you, and make sure everyone is using the same strategies, so you get consistent support in all areas of your life.

Will I get a report on completion of these programs?

Yes, as with all our services a standard outcome report is delivered at your annual plan review, unless an early outcome review is specifically requested prior to this timeline. These programs are intervention focused to reduce behaviours of concerns and develop healthy habits within the eight-week session timeline.

A Positive Behaviour Profile is provided to you, your family and supports. The profile will provide individualised strategies to reduce challenging behaviours, including addressing influencing factors for these behaviours. You and your supports will be supported by your practitioner to build capable environments that improve quality of life.
