What Is Child Behaviour Therapy?
Behavior therapy for children is a clear and step-by-step way to help them. It starts with looking at why certain behaviours of concern happen, including those that come with conduct disorder. The goal is to find what may trigger these actions and what the child is trying to get. With this, children learn other ways to act that are more helpful for them.
After some time, behaviour therapy helps to lower unwanted behaviours. It also helps children feel better, work well with others, and do more in their daily lives.
Key components include:

Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA / functional behaviour assessment Inner West)
We watch and look at behaviours closely to find out what sets them off, when they happen most, and why the child acts that way. This helps us see if the child is trying to get something or avoid something. Our goal is to also help the child learn new skills.
