Positive Behaviour Support across the Kimberley

Immediate capacity

The Kimberley is a big place with few specialist services. We have immediate capacity to support families and providers across the region, in person and by telehealth.

Wet-season road closures can cut towns off for weeks. Telehealth means a Behaviour Support Plan, coaching session or review does not have to wait for the roads to open.

Questions about Kimberley

Can telehealth really work for behaviour support?

For many families it works well. Observations can use short video clips with consent, and coaching often works best in your own home. We combine telehealth with visits where needed.

What if the internet is unreliable?

We can use phone calls, lower-bandwidth video and shared written strategies, and plan sessions around connection quality.
