Capability provides trauma-informed Clinical Services to achieve positive outcomes for children, young people and adults with a disability and/or trauma experience.
Creating, implementing, and refining support services with Capability Support involves crucial steps that lay the foundation for a successful and person-centric operation for NDIS support services.
Capability’s Positive Behaviour Support practitioners work with people of all backgrounds, ages and complexity. Capability’s Behaviour Support Practitioners are trained specifically to deliver services to people under the NDIS (National Disability Scheme) who have a requirement for positive behaviour support. Positive behaviour support can also be provided for children in out of home care without NDIS plans.
“A restrictive practice means any practice or intervention that has the effect of restricting the rights or freedom of movement of a person with a disability.”
Capability provides Therapeutic Supports to Children, Young People and Adults, as well as providing therapeutic support to organisations who deliver services to these people.
Clinicians are trained psychologists, social workers, registered counsellors and provisionally registered psychologists with experience in working with children, young people and adults. Clinicians receive regular clinical supervision and training to ensure the provision of high quality support. Clinicians are trained and skilled in a variety of modalities.
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a client-centred approach to address challenging behaviours exhibited by individuals with disabilities. Within PBS, three key principles guide the development of effective behaviour support plans:
At Capability, we are committed to upholding principles of Positive Behavior Support. By emphasising positivity, individuality, and collaboration, we strive to create highly effective and person-centred behaviour support plans that empower individuals with disabilities to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
A person-centred approach is at the heart of every successful behaviour support plan. This approach tailors interventions to the individual’s unique needs, preferences, and circumstances. It involves a deep and comprehensive understanding of the individual’s thoughts and behaviour patterns, triggers, and the underlying factors contributing to challenging behaviours. By taking the individual’s perspective into account, we can design highly effective strategies that resonate with their specific requirements.
Collaboration lies at the core of our Positive Behavior Support framework. We foster a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach that brings together the individual, their support team, and various professionals and service providers. This collective effort ensures a holistic and well-rounded strategy for behaviour support. By leveraging the expertise of diverse professionals, we can develop and implement comprehensive behaviour support plans that enhance the individual’s quality of life.
At Capability, we are committed to upholding these three principles of Positive Behavior Support. By emphasising positivity, individuality, and collaboration, we strive to create highly effective and person-centred behaviour support plans that empower individuals with disabilities to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.

A positive behaviour support plan is a personalised and person-centred strategy developed to address challenging behaviours in individuals primarily focusing on improved relationships and quality of life. These plans aim to build capabilities of carers and clients, promote positive behaviours, respect the individual’s rights, and eliminate restrictive practices when necessary.
Restrictive practices refer to any interventions or actions that limit a person with a disability’s rights or freedom of movement. These practices are often used to manage challenging behaviours but should only be implemented as a last resort and in accordance with legal and ethical standards.
We offer a range of behaviour support services, including:
Our behaviour support practitioners are trained professionals who specialise in providing Positive Behavior Support (PBS) services to individuals, including those under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) who require such support. They work to develop and implement personalised behaviour support plans, train informal supports and formal supports (Staff Members), and ensure that the individual’s needs are met and rights are respected throughout the process.
We manage challenging behaviours through a client-centred, ethical, and evidence-based approach. Our practitioners focus on understanding the underlying causes of challenging behaviours and work to develop positive strategies that promote positive alternatives while minimising the use of restrictive practices. We also emphasise the importance of involving the client in the process and consider input from their family and community support.
