What Is Specialised Behaviour Therapy?

Specialised behaviour therapy is a structured, multidisciplinary approach designed to support children and young people with persistent or complex behaviours of concern. In Sydney, this therapy is widely used to help families navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and seeking evidence-based ways to reduce challenging behaviours while building long-term skills.

Our approach combines Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Positive Behavior Support (PBS), and parent coaching to identify the underlying causes of behaviours.  All therapy is tailored, data-driven, and delivered by qualified Behavior Support Practitioners. We work closely with families, teachers, and allied health professionals to ensure children succeed across settings—whether at home, school, childcare, or in the community.

Who Can Benefit From Specialised Behaviour Therapy?

This type of therapy is ideal for:

  • Children with autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, or trauma-related needs

  • Children displaying behaviours of concern, such as aggression, self-injury, elopement, or social withdrawal

  • Families needing support at home, daycare, or school to create calmer, safer routines

  • Parents seeking NDIS-supported coaching and practical strategies they can use every day

  • Children requiring structured support to reach developmental milestones and build independence
