Does the NDIS fund positive behaviour support and who is eligible?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for positive behaviour support to support individuals with disabilities overcome behavioural difficulties, fostering better independence and quality of life.
Eligibility for NDIS funding for positive behaviour support requires meeting the following criteria: individuals must be under 65 years old, reside in Australia as an Australian citizen or hold a Permanent or Protected Special Category Visa, and have a permanent impairment that significantly impacts daily life.
How does NDIS positive behaviour support work?
NDIS-funded positive behaviour support services offer therapy services designed to improve behaviour, social and overall well-being and participation.
These services fall under the Capacity Building Supports budget, specifically under Improved Relationships. Positive behaviour support focuses on understanding the reasons surrounding behaviours of concern and developing comprehensive plans to support them.
This involves working closely with individuals, families, and support teams to identify triggers, teach new skills, make environmental adaptations and implement strategies that support positive actions.
By incorporating early intervention and consistent positive behaviour support strategies supported by the NDIS framework, our team of positive behaviour support practitioners aim to help people live meaningful, connected and positive lives.
What your NDIS plan covers
NDIS funding ensures access to a variety of comprehensive positive behaviour support services, including:
- Assessments: Detailed evaluation to understand and address specific needs.
- Individualised positive behaviour support plans: Customised plans to promote positive actions.
- Skill development: Techniques to enhance communication and emotional regulation.
- Family and carer training: Providing education and support to families and carers to make adaptation and support behaviour positively.
To maximise the benefits of positive behaviour support, check with your LAC or support coordinator to see what specific supports are covered under your plan.
