We understand that positive relationships and a sense of belonging are essential for personal growth. That’s why our behaviour support services focus on helping individuals feel confident, connected, and included in their communities. Through personalised support, we assist participants in accessing local programs, social groups, and everyday activities, opening up opportunities to build friendships, strengthen social skills, and enjoy greater independence.
As a trusted provider of behaviour support services in Melbourne, we’re committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where every individual feels respected, empowered, and supported.

Assessment & Understanding Behavior
Understanding behaviour is the first step toward creating meaningful, lasting change. At Ability Aid, we take a compassionate and collaborative approach to uncover the “why” behind certain behaviours, ensuring each person receives tailored behaviour support that truly meets their needs.
Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA):
Our team gently observes and documents behaviours such as aggression, anxiety, or withdrawal in the comfort of your home environment. We look closely at potential triggers like sensory overload or communication difficulties and identify what might be reinforcing these responses, such as a need for attention or a desire to avoid certain tasks.
Collaborative Input:
We value the voices of participants and those closest to them. That’s why we take the time to speak with families, caregivers, and the individual themselves, while also reviewing important background details like medical history, sensory sensitivities, or trauma-related experiences.

Intervention & Skill-Building
Helping individuals feel understood, safe, and empowered is at the heart of what we do. Through personalised behaviour support, we focus on practical tools and strategies that encourage positive change and help each person grow with confidence.
Behaviour Support Plan (BSP):
We tailor each plan to suit the individual’s unique needs, starting with prevention strategies that help reduce stress, like simplifying routines or creating quieter spaces. We also teach helpful replacement skills, including communication tools like sign language or break cards, and calming techniques such as deep breathing. Our plans guide families and carers on how to respond with care and calm, using de-escalation methods like gentle redirection and tone.
Positive Reinforcement:
We use praise, token systems, and meaningful rewards to celebrate progress and encourage positive behaviours to continue.
Skill Development:
We help individuals build emotional awareness and problem-solving abilities, while also teaching self-regulation skills using tools like weighted blankets or sensory breaks.
Crisis Management:
When needed, we provide carers with the training and support to respond safely during a behavioural crisis, including post-incident reflection to learn and adjust moving forward.

Maintenance & Collaboration
Ongoing support is key to lasting positive outcomes. At Ability Aid, we focus on continuous progress, open communication, and teamwork to help each individual thrive through personalised behaviour support.
Progress Monitoring:
We track how often certain behaviours occur and how intense they are, so we can adapt our approach when needed. Most importantly, we take time to celebrate every win, big or small, like going a whole week without incidents or showing new ways of coping.
Caregiver Training:
We empower families to confidently and consistently apply each Behaviour Support Plan, helping them understand what works and what might accidentally reinforce challenging behaviours. We also share helpful resources like workshops focused on trauma-informed care.
Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration:
Our team works closely with therapists, GPs, schools, and other professionals to ensure everyone is on the same page, whether it’s aligning with occupational therapy goals or adjusting plans to meet new needs.
Community Integration:
We support individuals in using their new skills out in the real world, such as managing emotions at the shops or practising calm-down techniques at the park.
At Ability Aid, our compassionate behaviour support services Melbourne families trust are designed to support long-term success.
