Summary
- A combined model of short-term accommodation and positive behaviour support for children aged 6-18 years.
- We work with each child individually to ensure their goals and specific needs are met.
- We work to understand young people, communicate with them and build their capacity for positive behaviour.
Short-term accommodation
B Street is a four-bedroom, short-term accommodation, with behaviour support for 6-18 year olds, living with a disability. Stays can be over two nights, either weekly or fortnightly, depending on your NDIS Plan. We are open:
- 3pm–9am Monday to Friday
- 24 hours a day during weekends and school holidays
- Closed Christmas eve, Christmas day, Boxing day and Good Friday through to Easter Monday.
One-to-one skill development
We provide programs tailored to the child/young person's skills, goals and interests. Through social activities we encourage the exploration of the local community, building confidence and a sense of self.
Who can access this service?
NDIS participants aged 6 to 18 years of age with the following types of funding in their plans can access this service:
- Assistance with daily life
- Improved relationships
- Assistance with social and community participation
What we do
- Support children to develop new skills and behaviours, increase independence, develop positive interpersonal relationships.
- Develop an understanding of the reasons underlying the child/young person’s behaviour and learn how to understand their communication patterns.
- Support the use of positive behaviour support strategies at home, school and in the wider community.
- Provide a shared care model that works with caregivers and allied health professionals to achieve set goals.
- Supervise interaction with peers in an accommodation and community setting.
- Develop parents’ skills to respond to their child/young person’s behaviours whilst supporting them to maintain full time care at home.
Continuous support
We work with each child/young person individually to ensure their specific goals are met, and we keep in touch so that each family feels part of our community. We will:
- develop a Goal Achievement Plan (including NDIS Goals)
- provide nine-month progress reports against Goal Achievement Plan
- share quarterly newsletters
- hold quarterly family meetings.
We also provide Behaviour Support Specialist training to those allocated it as part of their NDIS plan.
