🚨 Applying for NDIS funding? The right evidence matters.

One of the biggest challenges participants and families face is demonstrating why additional supports are needed, not just what supports are being requested.

As a Behaviour Support Practitioner, I regularly work with participants, families, Support Coordinators and support teams to develop detailed Funding Recommendation Letters that clearly explain the impact a person’s support needs have on their everyday life.

These recommendations can help support requests for:

✔ Behaviour Support services
✔ Increased support worker hours
✔ Higher support ratios (such as 2:1 support)
✔ Additional capacity building supports
✔ Plan reviews and reassessments

Each recommendation is tailored to the individual and outlines:

• Functional impact and daily support needs
• Risks and barriers affecting participation and safety
• Clinical observations and evidence-based reasoning
• Behaviour support requirements
• Recommendations linked to participant goals and outcomes

The goal is simple: provide clear, meaningful evidence that helps decision-makers understand the person’s circumstances and support needs.

If you’re supporting a participant who may benefit from stronger evidence for an upcoming funding request or plan review, I’d be happy to have a conversation about how I can help.

What is neuro-affirming behaviour support?

In the NDIS, behaviour support is evolving.

It is no longer about changing the person to fit the environment.
It is about understanding the person and adapting the support around them.

A neuro-affirming approach means:

💭 Recognising that different ways of thinking, communicating, and experiencing the world are valid

👆🏽 Inderstanding the function behind behaviour

👩‍❤️‍👨 Spporting regulation instead of expecting compliance

☺️ Respecting autonomy, identity, and choice

This approach shifts the focus from:
“how do we stop this behaviour?”
to
“what does this person need, and how can we support them?”

When we work in this way, we move from managing behaviour to supporting quality of life.

Linkd Disability prioritises person centered, neuro affirming and strength based reports and strategies backed by real data.

When is Behaviour Support helpful?

Behaviour Support may be helpful when:
• Behaviour is escalating or becoming unsafe
• Support teams feel unsure how to respond
• Daily routines are becoming difficult to maintain
• Communication needs are not being met
• Relationships are under strain

Behaviour Support focuses on understanding why behaviour is occurring and supporting positive, sustainable change over time.

An authorised restrictive practice…
Is not a free pass to use it.

I’ve seen situations where restrictive practices are approved in a Behaviour Support Plan…

But then implemented by:
• untrained staff
• unregistered providers
• teams without clear understanding

And suddenly, something that is authorised becomes…

👉 unsafe
👉 inconsistent
👉 potentially unlawful

Because authorisation is only one part of the process.

Safe implementation requires:
• training and competency
• clear guidance
• oversight and accountability

Without this, we risk causing harm — even when intentions are good.

Restrictive practices should always be:
✔ last resort
✔ least restrictive
✔ implemented correctly

Because how we implement matters just as much as what is approved.

What systems do you have in place to ensure safe implementation?

Restrictive practices are often used…

But not always fully understood.

Across Behaviour Support, there can be gaps in knowledge for:
- support workers
- plan nominees
- families

Not because people don’t care.

But because the system is complex, and guidance isn’t always clear.

This can lead to:
👉 uncertainty about what is and isn’t a restrictive practice
👉 inconsistent implementation
👉 increased risk for the person

Good Behaviour Support isn’t just about writing plans.

It’s about making sure everyone understands them.

Because when knowledge improves, practice improves.
