Support Suggestions
Here are a few suggestions about how you can find a behaviour support practitioner that is right for you and your family.
- You can ask other parents for suggestions from their own experiences with behaviour support providers.
- You could consider joining one or both of DDWA’s Facebook groups. DDWA operate a peer support program called Side by Side which you may like to join their private Facebook group and ask other families about their experiences and suggestions. www.facebook.com/groups/378334628980426
- DDWA have started a new Facebook group for family members AND professionals/ supporters of people with challenging behaviours – practitioners, support staff, therapists, coordinators, teachers etc. www.facebook.com/groups/620447002677053
- You may find that your therapy team can help with recommendations, and they may also be a behaviour support provider themselves.
- There may be waitlists. We recommend you ask any providers about the availability of their practitioners.
- If you have a support coordinator they may be able to assist you to find a behaviour support provider.
