NDIS registered

NDIS-registered Positive Behaviour Support

We deliver Positive Behaviour Support through Assist Disability Services Pty Ltd, a registered NDIS provider.

Our Behaviour Support Practitioners have been assessed by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission and deemed suitable to deliver behaviour support. This means families can access skilled, accountable support that aligns with NDIS requirements, individual rights and best-practice Positive Behaviour Support.

Our approach

We understand behaviour as communication.

Our Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners work alongside participants, families, schools, support workers and services to understand what is happening, develop practical strategies and improve quality of life.

We provide in-person support from our Broome office and online support across regional and remote Western Australia.

What Positive Behaviour Support involves

Positive Behaviour Support is not about controlling a person. It is about understanding what they may be communicating.

We look for unmet needs and build practical supports that help people feel safer, more understood and more able to take part in everyday life.

What we offer

Support for the whole family

We provide compassionate, practical support for children, young people, adults and families across Western Australia and online.

Meet Meg and Jo

Meg Hughes

Meg Hughes

Director and Specialist Behaviour Support Practitioner

Meg specialises in supporting children, young people and families through a compassionate, relationship-based and practical Positive Behaviour Support approach. Her work is grounded in the belief that behaviour is communication, and that lasting change happens when the people around a child understand their needs, strengths, communication, sensory profile, relationships and environment.

Jo Butler

Proficient Behaviour Support Practitioner

Jo supports both children and adults. She works with participants, families, support workers, schools and disability providers to understand behaviours of concern, identify unmet needs and develop practical, individualised Behaviour Support Plans.

What families and teams say

Testimonials

  • From our very first conversation, Meg made us feel heard and understood. She took the time to see our child as a whole person, not simply a collection of behaviours. For the first time in a long time, we felt hopeful. The strategies were practical, compassionate and made a meaningful difference for our entire family.
    Susan
  • Meg is warm, responsive and highly knowledgeable. She communicates clearly with families and the broader support team, and her recommendations are practical, person-centred and easy to implement. The family felt supported throughout the process, and I felt confident knowing they were in capable and caring hands.
    Rachel
  • Meg helped us understand what the child was communicating through their behaviour. Her guidance changed the way our team responded and helped us create a calmer, safer and more connected environment. Her compassion for the child, family and educators was evident in every interaction.
