Behaviour support in Penrith
How behaviour support in Penrith works in everyday life
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is NDIS funded. A practitioner learns when and why a behaviour happens, then works towards an easier trip to the shops or a calmer school handover.
We work with children, teenagers and adults across Penrith, at home, at school, at work and in the community.
Families, carers and support workers are part of every step. We coach them so the strategies carry on between our visits.
- Working towards more settled routines for the whole household
- Strategies shaped around what your family already does
- Practitioners who come to you across Penrith and the Nepean
- A registered NDIS provider for all ages

Local guide
Behaviour support in Penrith: a local guide
First, we find out what the behaviour is for
Each plan begins with a Functional Behaviour Assessment. It shows what need a behaviour meets, so the plan can help the person meet it more safely.
Behaviour support in Penrith that everyone can follow
We turn what we learn into a plain-English Behaviour Support Plan. It covers proactive strategies, calm responses and training for family, teachers and support workers.
PBS and the Capable Environment Framework, side by side
We pair PBS with the Capable Environment Framework. The framework looks at settings like a Glenmore Park home or Tench Reserve, with its inclusive playspace and Changing Places facility.
Working with your child's school in Penrith
With your consent, we speak with your child's teacher and learning support team. That way, class strategies match the ones used at home.
Paying for behaviour support through the NDIS
It is usually funded from Capacity Building, under Improved Relationships, though newer plans may list it separately. Your coordinator can confirm, and we charge in line with NDIS pricing arrangements.
