Let's talk about the misconceptions that get in the way of good PBS.

There are some misconceptions about Positive Behaviour Support that come up again and again โ€” and they often get in the way of practitioners doing their job well.

We're starting a fortnightly series unpacking these one by one, starting with the basics:

What PBS actually is.

Take a look at some common PBS myths and the reality behind them. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Did you know your NDIS plan may fund Behaviour Support AND psychology assessment?

Here's what to look for. ๐Ÿ’ก

Navigating NDIS funding can feel overwhelming. Let's make it simple.

Here's what NDIS funding can potentially cover with DMI Psychology:

๐Ÿ“‹ BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

Funded under Capacity Building โ€” Improved Relationships. Includes Functional Behaviour Assessments and Behaviour Support Plans.

๐Ÿง  PSYCHOLOGY ASSESSMENT

Funded under Capacity Building โ€” Improved Daily Living. This can include NDIS re-eligibility assessments, psychosocial functional capacity assessments, and other psychological assessments tailored to your needs.

โš ๏ธ Note: Every NDIS plan is individual. We recommend speaking with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager about specific funding categories.

๐Ÿ“ฒ Questions about your NDIS plan? We're here to help โ€” no question is too small.

Before a child can self-regulate, they need someone to co-regulate with. Here's what that actually means. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’™

Co-regulation is one of the most powerful tools in behavior support โ€” and one of the most misunderstood. It's not about 'calming a child down.' It's about being a calm, predictable presence that helps their nervous system feel safe.

Swipe through to understand co-regulation and why it changes everything. โžก๏ธ

Whether you're a parent, carer, teacher, or support worker โ€” understanding co-regulation can transform how you show up for the people around you.

At DMI Psychology, we believe the right person is more than their CV.

Yes โ€” skills and qualifications matter. But we're also looking for something harder to teach: the values, the curiosity, and the commitment that make someone genuinely great at this work.

Swipe through to see what we're looking for in our next team member. โžก๏ธ

Could that be you?

Let's talk about the misconceptions that get in the way of good PBS. New series: Common PBS Misconceptions. ๐Ÿ™…โžก๏ธโœ…

We're starting a fortnightly series unpacking these one by one, starting with the basics: what PBS actually is.

๐Ÿ™… Myth: PBS is therapy.
โœ… Reality: PBS is a consultative service. We work with the person and the people around them to understand behaviour, build practical strategies, and improve everyday support.

๐Ÿ™… Myth: You book a few sessions to see if the participant likes the practitioner.
โœ… Reality: Good PBS isn't measured by whether someone enjoys a few sessions. It's measured by meaningful change across the environments where the person lives, works, and spends time.

๐Ÿ™… Myth: PBS is about stopping behaviours.
โœ… Reality: The goal is to understand why behaviour occurs, improve quality of life, build skills, and reduce the need for behaviour over time.

Swipe through and look out for the next instalment in two weeks. โžก๏ธ

Last May, we had the joy of welcoming Ivana, our incredible Admin Assistant and a true backbone of the DMI Psychology team, to Sydney, Australia! ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ’™

Joining us from the Philippines, Ivana's dedication, warmth, and hard work behind the scenes help keep so much of what we do running smoothly. While she's part of our team every single day, having the opportunity to finally meet in person was a special reminder that great teams can thrive across borders.

At DMI Psychology, we believe that providing exceptional support to the people we serve starts with building a connected, supportive team. Spending time togetherโ€”sharing ideas, enjoying meals, and collaborating face-to-faceโ€”made an already strong team even stronger.

Thank you for making the trip, Ivana. It was wonderful having you with us, and we can't wait until the next visit! ๐ŸŒโœจ
