Behaviour Support
At Forbes Clinical Services, our specialist Behaviour Support Practitioners are committed to providing respectful, evidence-based support that empowers individuals and families to thrive. We work with children, adolescents, and adults – both under the NDIS and privately – addressing a wide range of behaviours of concern, developmental needs, and daily living challenges.
Personalised, Strengths-Based Behaviour Support
Our approach is all about partnership and understanding. We take the time to truly listen—learning what matters most to you and your loved ones. By focusing on strengths, preferences, and goals, we create tailored plans that enrich lives, enhance independence, and reduce behaviours of concern in supportive and positive ways.
Collaborative, Holistic Assessment and Planning
We believe behaviour is a form of communication. Our practitioners conduct comprehensive functional behaviour assessments to truly understand what’s behind each behaviour and what an individual is trying to express or achieve. We work closely with you, families, support networks, and other allied health professionals to design practical, meaningful support strategies.
Positive, Evidence-Based Interventions
We are passionate about positive behaviour support. Our team uses strategies grounded in the latest research and best practice, including:
- Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA): Identifying underlying needs, triggers, and patterns.
- Personalised Behaviour Support Plans: Developing practical interventions tailored to the individual’s environment, relationships, and unique strengths.
- Skill Building and Capacity Development: Teaching new skills for communication, emotional regulation, and daily living.
- Proactive Support Strategies: Minimising restrictive practices by building supportive routines and environments.
- Ongoing Training & Support: Equipping families, carers, and support staff with the tools and knowledge they need for success.
All our work is trauma-informed and culturally safe—prioritising dignity, collaboration, and meaningful quality of life.

Our services are open to children, adolescents, and adults, including NDIS participants and private clients, who may benefit from support managing behaviours of concern or building daily living skills.
Assessments involve conversations with the individual, families, and support staff, as well as observations and questionnaires to understand challenges, triggers, strengths, and goals. This helps build a clear picture to guide our recommendations.
