Hello!👋🏼 It's nice to meet you!

We are Elcies, which is proudly part of Lutheran Care.
In fact, our name comes from Lutheran Care's initials... LC = Elcies!

Our team provides Positive Behaviour Support to people of all ages, from young children through to older adults, who live across Adelaide and the Barossa Valley. We'd love to help you live your possibilities by finding out what matters most to you, and co-designing with you a plan to get you there.

If you'd like to find out more about what we do and how we might be able to help you, your family member or client, check out our website: https://www.lutherancare.org.au/elcies/

"Nothing about me without me".

At Elcies, our Positive Behaviour Support workers partner with you, your family, and your support team to understand what matters most to you.

This could be things like:

👉 Feeling safe and calm at home, school, or in the community.
👉 Building independence in daily routines (e.g. making breakfast, getting ready for work or school).
👉 Reducing frustration by using alternative or augmentative communication (AAC, visuals, signs, etc).
👉 Developing skills to manage transitions or unexpected changes.
👉 Increasing participation in education, work, or hobbies.
👉 Ensuring staff, family, and peers understand what helps you thrive.

Together, we design, or 'co-design' a plan that lays a path toward achieving these goals, with you at the centre!

We look forward to finding out what makes you tick, and helping find ways for you to be more independent whilst doing the things you enjoy.

Did you know, our team of multidisciplinary practitioners here at Elcies have qualifications in Psychology, Social Work, Counselling and Developmental Education? Our team includes behaviour specialists, psychologists, speech pathologists, social workers and educators.

They also have an incredible number of gorgeous pets! (Scroll 👉 to see our 'Pets of Elcies' photo wall!)

Our team brings together people from many different communities, languages and life experiences, with interests and hobbies as diverse as the people we support — we’re sure we’ll find something in common!

In the way we deliver Positive Behaviour Support, our goal is to reduce restrictive practices and promote choice, dignity and meaningful participation in the community, at school, at work, and at home.

Here is some feedback from the parents of a couple of our participants.

LOOKING BEYOND BEHAVIOURS

Positive Behaviour Support, or PBS, is a service that aims to help people improve their lives, by exploring why behaviours happen, and finding better ways to meet their needs.

Our Elcies PBS team works with people of all ages, from young children through to older adults, and can support people with:

👉 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
👉 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
👉 Psychosocial Disability
👉 Intellectual Disability
👉Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
👉 Dementia.

We work with clients and their teams across Adelaide and the Barossa Valley in homes, schools, workplaces and community settings.

Let's have a chat about what difference PBS could make to your or your family member's life. Get in touch!
