What Is Behaviour Therapy for Children?
Behaviour therapy helps identify why a behaviour is happening and teaches safer, more helpful skills to replace it. Many challenging behaviours are a child’s way of communicating—especially when big emotions, sensory overload, anxiety, or changes in routine feel overwhelming.
At daar in Inner West, behaviour therapy may support your child to:
- Communicate needs more effectively (help, break, choice, space)
- Manage frustration and emotional outbursts
- Build flexibility with change and transitions
- Improve independence with everyday routines
- Participate more confidently at school and in social settings
How daar Delivers NDIS Behaviour Therapy in Inner West
As a NDIS-registered provider, daar delivers behaviour therapy aligned with your child’s NDIS goals and your family’s priorities.
Assessment & Understanding the “Why”
We take time to understand your child’s strengths, needs, routines, and triggers. This may include parent/carer interviews, observation, and reviewing existing reports (with consent). The goal is to identify what happens before a behaviour, what the behaviour communicates, and what helps your child feel safe and regulated.
Individualised Behaviour Support Plan
We develop a practical, goal-focused plan tailored to your child. It includes prevention strategies, skill-building steps, and clear response guidance to support consistency at home and school (where appropriate).
Parent/Carer Coaching (Practical, Everyday Strategies)
We provide parents and carers with clear, actionable coaching to manage high-stress moments with confidence. This includes practical strategies for morning and bedtime routines, mealtimes, school transitions, and community outings, ensuring consistent support for your child throughout the day.
Skills-Based Therapy With Your Child
Behaviour therapy also focuses on building key skills, including:
- Emotional regulation and calming tools
- Communication and requesting strategies
- Flexibility, waiting, and transition tolerance
- Social and problem-solving skills (where relevant)

Collaboration With School & Supports (With Consent)
Where helpful, we can collaborate with educators, support workers, and allied health professionals so strategies are consistent across environments and goals stay aligned.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment
Progress is tracked, and strategies are refined to ensure lasting improvements.
