Every mind has its own colours 🌈
Like a flock of rosellas, no two minds are the same, and that's what makes the world so bright. This ADHD Awareness Month, we're celebrating the curiosity, creativity and energy that people with ADHD bring to every space they're in.
Our team works alongside children, adults and families to understand how each person thinks and learns, and to build supports that fit their life.

What's inside a behaviour support assessment? 🌱💙**
You may have seen lots of chatter about behaviour support assessments lately. In June 2026, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission released its *Behaviour Support Assessment, including Functional Behaviour Assessment: Practice Guide*, setting out what a quality assessment looks like for every specialist behaviour support provider.
For us, nothing changes. 😊 Whole-person, rights-based, strengths-focused assessments are how we've worked since 2015, and it's wonderful to see this become the shared standard across the sector.
So, at Behaviour Support and Therapy what does a quality assessment actually contain?
**1. Biopsychosocial assessment** 🧠
The heart of every assessment, bringing three parts of a person's life together:
🌿 **Bio:** health, sleep, sensory neeand wellbeing
💭 **Psycho:** mental health, emotions, thinking and communication
🤝 **Social:** relationships, culture, routines and community
**2. Observation**
Documenting important information observed in the places and relationships that make up everyday life.
**3. Functional behaviour assessment** 🔍
Understanding the whole story behind behaviour:
✨ **The person's strengths:** the skills, interests and relationships to build on
📍 **The setting:** what's happening in their day, environment and wellbeing
➡️ **Before:** the moments and situations that lead up to behaviour
⬅️ **After:** how people respond and what follows
💡 **The function:** the need behaviour meets, such as connection, a break, comfort, sensory input or access to something important
**4. Functional report** 📋
Bringing it all together into a clear formulation of why behaviour happens, with practical strategies that build new skills, meet needs in other ways and support a great quality of life
Our clinicians bring a special interest in mental health, dual diagnosis and complex support needs, so seeing the whole picture has always been our starting point. 💚
