Aspect.Behaviour.Intervention.Service

The Aspect Behaviour Intervention Service is a specialist home-based service for families and carers living in the Western Sydney area who support young people with a diagnosed disability and have an emerging or current challenging behaviour. The service is funded to support a limited number of families each year by Ageing, Disability and Home Care, NSW Department of Human Services.

 

 

 

 

 

The Aspect Behaviour Intervention Service adopts a family-centred positive behaviour support approach when working with clients. This approach places emphasis on developing a comprehensive behaviour support plan through:
• collaborative partnerships with parents, schools, and other professionals aiming to build knowledge and skills and
• collecting information to help analyse the ‘function’ of challenging behaviour (i.e. what makes it keep happening)

 

 

 

 

The Aspect Behaviour Intervention Service employs specialist staff to work with families during a 3 day workshop, and up to 5 home-based sessions to:

 

 

 

  • train families in autism-specific positive behaviour support strategies at the start of service
  • set clear goals to identify the needs and priorities of families
  • give families the tools to develop a functional understanding of challenging behaviour 
  • develop a comprehensive behaviour intervention plan 
  • learn how to make and use resources to promote positive behaviour  (e.g. supports for communication, visual timetables, social stories, rules and reward systems etc)
  • help promote skills such as emotional regulation (e.g. anger management) and social skills
  • provide or link families to other service providers supports and resources if required
  • provide the family with a letter that explains about the work completed and helps them address any future challenges should they arise
  • review the service to promote good quality, family-centred service delivery
