Therapy Scope provides NDIS positive behaviour support in Canberra and [surrounding areas], from behaviour support assessments to interim and comprehensive behaviour support plans and team training.
In the ACT, a restrictive practice can only be used once the plan is approved by a registered PBS Panel and registered by the Senior Practitioner. We write plans to those guidelines from day one.
A functional behaviour assessment covering observation, interviews and data review, to understand why behaviours of concern happen and what helps.
A short-term plan focused on safety, completed within one month of engagement when regulated restrictive practices are in use.
A full positive behaviour support plan with proactive strategies, skill-building, environmental changes and response strategies, completed within six months of engagement.
Clear, realistic strategies to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices, written to meet NDIS Commission and ACT requirements.
Practical training for families, support workers, SIL and day program teams so the plan works in everyday life.
Reviews at least every 12 months, or sooner when needs, living arrangements or support teams change.
Video check-ins, team meetings, data review and coaching between in-person visits across Australian Capital Territory.
[e.g. Canberra and Queanbeyan]
[e.g. In Canberra every [x] weeks]
We’re based in Melbourne, VIC, so in-person work in ACT is planned around these visits, and telehealth keeps support going in between.
We support children, young people and adults with disability whose behaviours of concern affect their safety, relationships or participation, including people with autism, intellectual disability and complex support needs. We work alongside families, guardians, support coordinators, SIL providers, day programs and schools.
After a referral, the participant or their representative signs a service agreement. If regulated restrictive practices are in use, an interim behaviour support plan is completed within one month of engagement and a comprehensive plan within six months. We combine in-person visits in Canberra with telehealth so the work keeps moving between trips.
Send us a referral with consent. Once the service agreement is signed, we start the assessment and prepare the plan for PBS Panel approval and registration with the ACT Senior Practitioner.
An interim plan is due within one month of engagement and a comprehensive plan within six months. ACT interim plans can be authorised for up to six months, and registered plans expire after 12 months.
Yes. We prepare plans for panel review and can present them. Panel membership itself follows the ACT Senior Practitioner's guidelines.
The ACT Senior Practitioner's oversight extends beyond disability services. We'll talk through school settings with you on a case-by-case basis.
An NDIS Worker Screening Check. [Add ACT Working with Vulnerable People registration status before publishing.]
Behaviour support is delivered under the registration of a registered NDIS provider approved for specialist positive behaviour support (registration group 0110). Your service agreement and invoices will be with that provider, and they manage complaints and incident reporting. We'll confirm the provider's details with you before you sign anything. Therapy Scope coordinates your enquiry, and our practitioner works with you directly.
We do not charge travel time, flights or accommodation for interstate visits to your NDIS plan.
Tell us a little about the behaviour support needed in Canberra. We'll contact you about timing and next steps.
Please keep it brief. Don’t include diagnoses, incident details or other sensitive information in this form. We’ll collect what’s needed securely once we’ve spoken with you and have consent.
