What is Behaviour Support?
Under the NDIS, Specialist Behaviour Intervention Support is an intensive support intended to address significantly harmful or persistent behaviours of concern, in a way that reduces and eliminates the need for the use of restrictive practices. The service has a principal aim of improving quality of life and ensuring that behaviours of concern and regulated restrictive practices are not a barrier for someone in reaching their goals or enjoying a good quality of life. At Step 2, we offer three main service types: our Full Service, a Brief Assessment and Recommendations Service, and a Consultation Service. More details on each of these service offerings can be found below in our FAQ section. |
