Behaviour Support Cairns

From 2 to 65 years of age.

Applied Behaviour Analysis is a science. It provides us with scientific information on how a person interacts with their environment and the impact their interactions have. Basically it is the science of how behaviour works.

Applied Behaviour Analysis is not a ‘therapy’ or a ‘methodology’. It is a scientific, data driven approach to behaviour. This data assists our Practitioners to devise person-centred, effective behaviour support plans.

We do our best to finalise the plan within 2-3 months (if there are no restrictive practices). This timeframe is dependent upon the availability of the person themselves and the key people in their lives. You will receive a schedule of support with more specific timeframes from your practitioner prior to the work being undertaken. ​

The Collaborative Problem Solving model (CPSM) is a methodology that works within the underlying philosophy that all children and young people do the best they can within the environment they exist in. If a child or young person can be successful, they will be.

It looks at the expectations placed on the child or young person and draws comparisons to the child’s skills. When mismatches occur, the child does not have the skill to meet the expectations, and often result in behaviours that challenge.

Kameleon Group does not provide ‘critical’ services. However we understand that in situations of disasters or emergencies, we need to ensure services continue to be provided. Our response will include the provision of services by an alternate practitioner, or the provision of services by telehealth. We will consult with you during these times and provide options of service delivery to meet your needs.

The Kameleon Group charges the current NDIS rates per hour for services. We include travel costs and we come to you at home, at school, in the community. Further information on current NDIS pricing and the Monash Model for travel costs can be found under our Resources Heading (E-Resources) or on the NDIS website www.ndis.gov.au
