Functional behaviour assessment
A structured process to understand behaviours of concern, contributing factors, unmet needs, strengths, communication, and environmental influences.
Our services
Specialist Behaviour Support
Sky Ability provides Specialist Behaviour Support for NDIS participants of all ages. Our qualified and experienced practitioners use functional assessment, evidence-informed practice, and data-based decision-making to understand the factors contributing to behaviours of concern.
Our approach
Individualised, proactive, and rights-led
We develop proactive strategies that respect each participant’s rights, dignity, communication, environment, and personal goals. Our focus is on improving quality of life, building practical skills, strengthening care teams, and reducing the frequency and impact of behaviours of concern and restrictive practices.
- Person-centred and trauma-informed practice
- Communication and emotional-regulation support
- Environmental and sensory considerations
- Collaboration across home and community settings
