Scope was a partner in a research project called The Right Direction: Strengthening participant and provider connections to improve behaviour support outcomes. This research was led by the University of Melbourne and also involved the University of Queensland, VALID, National Disability Services, Ability First Australia and Multicap. The research co-designed, tested, and delivered 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.
