Reforming Minds & Lives

07/08/2025

Are you seeking compassionate, effective support to navigate behavioural challenges and build a more empowered life?
Living with disability brings unique strengths—but it can also come with behavioural, emotional, and social challenges. Whether you’re supporting a loved one or seeking support yourself, Reforming Minds & Lives offers a path forward grounded in understanding, respect, and meaningful change.

Behavioural challenges are often a form of communication—an expression of unmet needs, frustration, or environmental stressors. With the right support and strategies, individuals can learn new skills, strengthen relationships, and thrive in everyday life.

What Does Behaviour Support Involve?

Behaviour Support involves a number of core practices designed to understand behaviour and help individuals succeed across different settings. These include:

1. Comprehensive Behaviour Assessments: Understanding the function of behaviour by identifying triggers, patterns, and contributing factors (such as communication barriers, sensory needs, or unmet emotional needs).

2. Individualised Positive Behaviour Support Plans: Creating personalised strategies based on the person’s strengths, goals, and environment. These plans focus on building skills, reducing behaviours of concern, and promoting choice and control.

3. Skill Development: Behaviour support emphasises the development of practical skills, such as emotional regulation, social interaction, communication, and daily living skills. Teaching new skills empowers individuals to better meet their needs and engage more fully in life.

4. Family, School, and Workplace Coaching: Equipping support networks with the tools, language, and strategies to respond consistently and effectively, creating a shared understanding and supportive approach.

5. Crisis Prevention and Safer Responses: Supporting proactive planning to reduce escalation, and ensuring that responses to behaviours of concern are safe, respectful, and non-restrictive.

6. Environmental Adjustments: Assessing and modifying surroundings, routines, and expectations to reduce stressors and support wellbeing. This includes working with families, educators, and workplaces to create environments that promote success.

What is Behaviour Support?

A Behaviour Support Practitioner specialises in helping individuals who experience behaviours that challenge their safety, wellbeing, or daily functioning.

Rather than simply managing behaviours, we focus on understanding their underlying causes and developing personalised plans to encourage positive, lasting change.

Our behaviour support is grounded in the evidence-based framework of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), which uses data-driven methods to assess and address behaviours effectively.

Key aspects of behaviour support include:

Conducting assessments to identify triggers and reasons for behaviours

Creating positive behaviour support plans based on individual strengths and needs

Training and coaching families, schools, and workplaces to respond effectively

Supporting crisis prevention and ensuring safe management strategies

Promoting environments that reduce stressors and support wellbeing

Behaviour support is a collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based approach aimed at improving quality of life for individuals and their support networks.
