NDIS Behaviour Support Plan
An NDIS behaviour support plan explains why a behaviour of concern happens and how the people around someone can support them, so it happens less and their quality of life improves. On Solotude, you can find independent, NDIS-registered behaviour support practitioners.

What’s in a plan
- An assessment of why the behaviour happens, called a functional behaviour assessment
- Changes to the environment and routine that reduce triggers
- New skills to help the person get their needs met
- How to respond safely when the behaviour happens
- Any regulated restrictive practices, and a plan to reduce them
- Training for family, carers and support workers
Who writes it?
Behaviour support plans are written by behaviour support practitioners. Where a plan includes regulated restrictive practices, the practitioner must be considered suitable by the NDIS Commission, and the provider must be registered.Behaviour support practitioners

Before you book, ask how many hours the assessment and report are likely to take, so you know the total cost up front. Every provider on Solotude shows their rate on their profile, so you know the cost before you message them.
