What is NDIS Behaviour Therapy?

NDIS Behaviour Therapy is a Capacity Building support funded under Improved Daily Living (line item 15_097_0128_1_3). It uses evidence-based approaches including Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) to reduce challenging behaviours and build skills for NDIS participants.

How does ABA therapy help children with autism?

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy breaks skills into small steps and uses positive reinforcement to teach communication, social skills, self-care and daily living tasks. Research consistently shows ABA leads to significant improvements in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder when delivered early and intensively.

What is a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP)?

A Behaviour Support Plan is an NDIS-required document for participants who use restrictive practices. It outlines the reasons behind challenging behaviours, proactive strategies and how support workers should respond. Daar's NDIS-registered behaviour support practitioners create Interim and Comprehensive BSPs.

How do I access NDIS-funded behaviour therapy?

If your NDIS plan includes Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living (Support Category 15), you can use those funds for behaviour therapy. Contact Daar and we will verify your funding, match you with a therapist and get started quickly — no GP referral needed.

What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred, evidence-based framework that improves quality of life by understanding the reasons behind behaviours of concern and addressing them through skill-building, environmental changes and proactive strategies — without punishment or restrictive practices where possible.
