Specialist Behaviour Support Services

At Lumen Therapeutic Services, we provide Specialist Behaviour Support that helps individuals, families and support teams better understand behaviour, build skills and create meaningful outcomes.

Our services are designed to improve quality of life, strengthen support networks and increase opportunities for participation, independence and wellbeing.

We recognise that every individual has unique strengths, experiences and goals. For this reason, our support is tailored to the person and delivered through collaborative, evidence-based and person-centred practice.

What Behaviour Support Includes

Core areas of Specialist Behaviour Support

Our support can include assessment, planning, implementation guidance, capacity building and ongoing collaboration. The mix of supports is tailored to the participant rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all pathway.

Structured assessment and collaboration to understand behaviour, identify contributing factors and guide practical support planning.

Behaviour Support Plans

Person-centred strategies that build skills, strengthen support and promote positive, sustainable outcomes in everyday life.

Restrictive Practice Reduction

Rights-based support focused on proactive alternatives, dignity and the least restrictive approach possible.

Implementation Guidance

Practical guidance for families, carers, schools and support teams to apply behaviour support strategies consistently.

Capacity Building

Support that develops the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to maintain positive outcomes over time.

Parent and Carer Support

Collaborative guidance that helps families and carers better understand behaviour and confidently support participation and wellbeing.

How We Support Participants

Support across assessment, planning, implementation and review

The areas below explain the practical ways our Specialist Behaviour Support can respond to different needs, settings and stages of support, with guidance tailored to the participant and their support network.

01

Functional Behaviour Assessments

A Functional Behaviour Assessment provides a structured understanding of the factors influencing behaviour and helps identify opportunities to improve quality of life, strengthen support systems and reduce barriers to participation.

The information gathered forms the foundation for meaningful behaviour support strategies that are tailored to the individual’s goals, strengths and circumstances.

02

Behaviour Support Plans

Behaviour Support Plans provide practical, individualised strategies that help participants and their support networks respond consistently and effectively to behaviours of concern.

These plans focus on building skills, increasing independence, improving communication and creating supportive environments that promote positive and sustainable outcomes.

03

Interim Behaviour Support Plans

Where immediate guidance is required, Interim Behaviour Support Plans provide practical recommendations that support safety, stability and continuity of care.

These plans offer clear strategies while more comprehensive assessment and planning is being completed, ensuring that participants and support teams have appropriate guidance from the outset.

04

Restrictive Practice Reduction and Elimination

Restrictive practices can have a significant impact on a person’s rights, wellbeing and quality of life.

Our approach focuses on understanding the factors contributing to behaviours of concern and developing proactive, positive and evidence-based alternatives that reduce the need for restrictive practices over time.

We work collaboratively with participants, families and providers to support the least restrictive approach possible while maintaining safety and wellbeing.

05

Capacity Building

Sustainable outcomes are achieved when participants and the people around them feel confident, capable and supported.

Our capacity-building approach focuses on developing the knowledge, skills and confidence of participants, families and support teams so that positive outcomes can be maintained over the long term.

06

Parent and Carer Support

Families and carers play an important role in supporting positive outcomes.

We provide guidance, education and practical strategies that help families better understand behaviour, navigate challenges and feel confident in supporting their loved ones across a range of environments and situations.

07

Support Team Implementation Guidance

Effective behaviour support relies on consistent and informed implementation.

We provide practical guidance and consultation that helps support workers, educators and service providers confidently apply behaviour support strategies in everyday environments.

08

School and Education Support

Positive educational experiences play a critical role in development, learning and wellbeing.

We work alongside schools, educators and support teams to develop practical strategies that promote engagement, participation, inclusion and positive learning outcomes.

Our goal is to support environments where students feel understood, supported and able to thrive.

09

Collaborative Support and Consultation

Meaningful outcomes are achieved through strong partnerships.

We work collaboratively with participants, families, support coordinators, allied health professionals, educators and service providers to ensure supports are coordinated, consistent and focused on the individual’s goals.

By bringing together the people involved in a participant’s life, we help create shared understanding and sustainable approaches that support long-term success.

10

Ongoing Review and Support

Needs, goals and circumstances can change over time.

Regular review helps ensure that supports remain relevant, effective and aligned with the individual’s current needs and aspirations.

Through ongoing monitoring, consultation and collaboration, we support continuous progress and meaningful outcomes.

11

Flexible Service Delivery

Specialist Behaviour Support can be delivered in a variety of settings depending on the needs and preferences of the individual.

Support may be provided in the home, school, community, workplace or through telehealth, allowing services to remain accessible, practical and responsive to individual circumstances.

Our Commitment

Ethical, evidence-based and focused on meaningful outcomes

At Lumen Therapeutic Services, we are committed to delivering Specialist Behaviour Support that is ethical, evidence-based and focused on meaningful outcomes.

We believe every individual deserves support that recognises their strengths, respects their rights and empowers them to live a life that reflects their goals, preferences and aspirations.

Our role is not simply to address behaviours of concern but to help create the conditions for individuals to thrive.
