NDIS participants face many challenges throughout their lives and require different types of services to ensure good and enjoyable lives. Many NDIS participants also go through behavioural challenges that make it difficult for them to communicate and socialise with other people very often. Some might have fewer behavioural challenges than others, but all of them require a good amount of support to overcome this barrier.
NDIS behaviour support allows you to have therapies that can help you learn more about your own behaviour and develop ways to make it better. This type of support is especially useful for children with autism and other intellectual disabilities. As a person with behavioural challenges, you might have a difficult time fitting into societal norms and communicating with others easily. When you get the funding for NDIS behaviour support in your plan, you work with a qualified therapist who can help you develop coping mechanisms and understand your triggers. All this helps in managing your symptoms better so you can communicate and behave more easily with other people.
What is a Behaviour Support Plan?
A behaviour support plan is created to help participants improve their quality of life. It is a document that is developed after consultation with the participant, their families, carers, and support workers. This document contains detailed information on the behavioural challenges participants face and ways to overcome those challenges.
Who Can Create a Behaviour Support Plan?
A behavioural support plan is only created by a professional practitioner who is considered suitable by the NDIS Commission. They can also be the people who conduct the functional capacity assessment for the participant. They can be a sole provider or an employee hired by a provider; however, they need to be registered under NDIS to be able to develop a behaviour support plan for participants.
Where Can I Find Funds for Behaviour Support?
If you have received your approved NDIS plan and are looking for funding related to behaviour support, you might not be able to find it. NDIS doesn’t provide funding with the term “Behaviour Support”; instead, it provides funding for Capacity-Building Support. It is a budget category under NDIS that is designed to help participants improve their independence and skillset. Funding for behaviour support is funded under this category because it improves your living and helps you develop new skills like better communication. It also helps you improve your relationships with others which is another support funded under Capacity-Building Support. This budget is strictly to be used for the support it provides funds for, so make sure you hire a good service provider to help you manage your funding.
How Can We Help?
At Inspiring Care, we have support workers that can keep you company while you stay out at community events. Our support workers are compassionate and empathetic individuals. They take their responsibilities seriously and help participants go through their challenges while having the best support possible. We also connect you with qualified and experienced therapists who are well-versed in all types of behavioural challenges that NDIS participants often face.
The therapists observe your behaviour and even interview us to figure out your triggers. They ask you different questions about your life at home, school, and work to identify the challenges you face throughout the day. They also visit your place to check how your surroundings are affecting your behaviour. If they consider something wrong, they also recommend changes in your surroundings that might help you overcome those challenges. It is also important that you meet people with similar problems because, in some cases, learning from someone else’s experience also helps. So you can also request the therapists to help you connect with other NDIS participants with similar problems. Our support workers are also experienced, so they know how to handle situations in a better way.
We provide you with multiple options and help you in the decision-making process so you don’t have to worry about finding the right therapist and support worker for assistance. We make sure that you receive the right treatment and get the most benefits out of your NDIS plan. If you have any questions related to NDIS behaviour support or any other NDIS service, you can ask our support workers, and their expertise will definitely help you have a better understanding of the program.
