In my role as a Behaviour Support Practitioner in Alice Springs, I’ve learned that meaningful change happens when we look beyond the individual and work with the whole family. Behaviour doesn’t exist in isolation it’s shaped by relationships, routines, and environments. Every plan I create is grounded in collaboration, cultural respect, and family-driven strategies because lasting outcomes come from working together.

Receiving Runner-Up in the Early Years category feels like recognition for the collective effort - not just mine, but the families, schools, and communities who walk this journey with me. It motivates me to keep advocating for culturally responsive practices and to share what works in remote settings. Every child, every adult, deserves support that honours who they are.

- Sam

Want to know how Sam builds that trust with families and communities in Alice Springs while delivering behaviour support in some of the most remote settings? Keep a look out for our blog in the new year to read more about Sam!

🎉 What a proud moment for our team!
Last Thursday, our incredible Behaviour Support Practitioner, Sam, was honoured as Runner Up – Promising Early Years Practitioner at ACRRE🏅

After relocating to Alice Springs and stepping in as the only non-FIFO practitioner, she embraced the challenges of a remote and culturally diverse community with compassion and integrity. 💛

Her strength lies in building trusting relationships with clients and families; relationships grounded in cultural safety, understanding and genuine care. Through collaboration with local stakeholders and a values-driven approach to behaviour support, Sam has become a trusted, respected, and positive force for meaningful change.

Congratulations Sam this award is well deserved and we are beyond proud to have you apart of our CPBS team!

Please join us in celebrating Sam.
Drop your congratulations below 👇 let’s show her how proud we all are!

What a phenomenal week at the ASID Conference! We presented five powerful talks that sparked meaningful conversations.

Here’s a snapshot of what we shared:

🔍 Dr Rebecca Beights & Matthew Spicer: Removing Restrictions — Evidence from Clinical Literature using Multi-Element Behaviour Support

📊 Dr Rebecca Beights & Matthew Spicer: Behaviour Support Plan Quality — Evaluation & Recommendations from Multi-Element Behaviour Support

🌱 Dr Rebecca Beights: Beyond Removing to Adding — Case Examples of Meaningful Outcomes with Removal of Restrictive Practices

🛠 Matthew Spicer: Developing an Objective Tool for Measuring Challenging Behaviour during Behavioural Outburst Incidents

🤝 Nicole McKillop: “Giving In” and Giving More as Rights-Affirming Practice — A Research Replication-Extension

We hope these conversations reshaped how you think about behaviour support, rights, and respect.

👏 Huge gratitude to ASID for providing a platform, and to everyone who attended, engaged, and joined us intaking a more inclusive future.

The CPBS Approach

At CPBS, we believe in a person-centred approach. That means we tailor our programs to the needs of the person. We do not expect the person to conform to the pre-set structure of our program. We use a strengths-based approach when designing each person’s individualised programme.

We use a multi-element model, incorporating the best from PBS, ABA and Educational Theory. We believe in taking the strengths from these approaches and combining them to create a powerhouse program to enhance the person’s learning and development.

This specialises in person-centred support, giving the focus person and their families a holistic support. We specialise in complex behavioural support needs via our multi-element framework, inclusive of non-linear behavioural assessment, multi-element Positive Behaviour Support Plan, implementation, training, evaluation and troubleshooting.

At CPBS we believe people are happiest having fun and feeling successful. We design programs to develop individual strengths, build support networks and make strong lasting relationships.
