Positive behaviour support therapy

Our child behaviour specialists believe parents know their children best. By working closely with you during sessions, we ensure that goals are practical and achieveable. We then create personalised strategies tailored to your child’s unique needs.

Professionals may come and go, but families are the constant support in a child’s life. Good partnerships between therapists and parents ensure that support and learning continue at home, leading to better outcomes for your child. This is because evidence shows that most of a child’s learning happens between therapy sessions. We give you the skills and strategies to make it happen.

Sessions times vary but are mostly one hour long. However, they can be longer if that’s the best approach to meet your goals. Sessions can be scheduled weekly or fortnightly over an extended period, or as shorter blocks. 

Therapy sessions do not all look the same. Every family has their individual priorities so we tailor our sessions to meet your circumstances. For more information read our flyer.
