What we do
At Behaviour Detectives, we do not make judgments but view every behaviour of concern as carrying a message or having a purpose. We try to understand behaviour as an adaptive response and a way of coping. Behaviour Detectives conducts behavioural assessments, develops and implements subsequent behaviour support plans with outcomes that promote inclusion, improve daily living skills and reduce problem behaviours.
Behaviour Detectives provides services based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis and Positive Behaviour Support for children, young adults, and adults in the area of challenging behaviours with a range of developmental disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorders across home, school, respite and residential settings.
The emphasis is placed on collaborating and empowering the client, their family and caregivers while incorporating personal values. By establishing a real connection with our clients, together we will work to achieve the best possible results and aim to reach each individuals potential.
Behaviour Detectives team receives ongoing BCBA supervision, undergoes continuous personal development training and all programmes are monitored by the BCBA. The Behaviour Therapists providing services hold a degree in Psychology, Social Care or in other related fields. Also, have knowledge of Autism and training in the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis.
