Behaviour Support

Behaviour Support with one of our Behaviour Analysts

This service is delivered by Dr Kelly Larkin, Ms Shannan Eidman, Ms Julianne Bell, Dr Roberta Hines, Ms Joeleen Lynch or Ms Charlene Moore. You will be assigned a behaviour analyst based on your family’s needs and also based on therapist availability. You can also absolutely request a specific therapist but please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee the availability of any one specific behaviour analyst as we are operating a waiting list for most of our services at present. In addition, you are also always welcome to switch to a different therapist if your circumstances or times of availability change or indeed if you simply prefer to switch. Each therapist may have slightly different ways of working (e.g., some of our therapists are working only remotely, others may only be available during 9-5 working hours, whereas others may only be available during evenings).

WEEK 1: Initial Meeting

In the initial meeting, background information and support needs are discussed. This meeting will narrow down the ‘goal’ that family would like to work on. Family members will be asked to collect data relevant to the goal they are working towards.

WEEK 2: Review of Data and Indirect Assessments

In this meeting, the behaviour therapist will read through the data and discuss their thoughts. Indirect assessments, such as the Functional Assessment Interview (FAI) and Functional Assessment Screening Tool (FAST), are used to gather more information about the goal and ways to get there.

WEEK 3: Implementation of Behaviour Support Plan (BSP)

In this meeting, the behaviour therapist will have:

A BSP assessment which compiles the information gathered from previous meetings.
A BSP which consists of proactive strategies, reactive strategies, a direct intervention to help the family achieve their goal, and the materials needed.

The behaviour therapist can model how the BSP will be implemented, and family members will be asked to record data over the next coming weeks in order to monitor the progress.

WEEK 4+: Review of Data

In the subsequent meetings, the behaviour therapist will collect the data and illustrate it on a graph to visually analyse and monitor the strategies in the BSP. The behaviour therapist will make changes to the BSP based on the data recorded by family members, visiting the home if requested.
