The law says that people with disability and their families must be involved in developing their behaviour support plan. Yet, according to data from the NDIS, many people with disability and their families are not involved in the behaviour support planning process.
Scope is a partner in a research project called The Right Direction: Strengthening participant and provider connections to improve behaviour support outcomes. This research is led by the University of Melbourne and also involves the University of Queensland, VALID, National Disability Services, Ability First Australia and Multicap. The research will co-design, test, and deliver resources to support communication and consultation with people with disability about their behaviour support plans and any proposed use of regulated restrictive practices.
The Right Direction website has resources for behaviour support practitioners to use across all stages of the behaviour support process, including:
- Step-by-step guides, tips and videos, and
- Tools and workbooks to use with participants.
