What Is Behaviour Therapy for Children?
Behaviour therapy is a structured, goal-focused support that helps identify why a behaviour is happening and teaches safer, more helpful skills to replace it. Many behaviours are a child’s way of communicating unmet needs—especially when communication, emotional regulation, sensory processing, or change feels difficult.
At daar Sydney, behaviour therapy typically involves:
- Understanding what triggers the behaviour (before it happens)
- Identifying what the child is trying to communicate or achieve
- Teaching replacement skills (communication, coping, self-regulation)
- Adjusting environments and routines to reduce overwhelm
- Supporting parents/carers with practical strategies they can use daily

Assessment & Understanding the “Why”
We start by building a clear picture of your child’s strengths, needs, routines, and triggers. This may include structured observation, interviews, and reviewing existing reports (with your consent). The aim is to understand the function of behaviour—what the behaviour is “doing” for your child (e.g., escaping a task, getting help, communicating discomfort).

Individualised Behaviour Support Plans
We develop a practical, goal-focused plan tailored to your child’s unique communication and sensory needs. This includes proactive prevention strategies, skill-building techniques, and clear response steps to ensure consistent support across home and school environments.
