Supporting Children and Families Through Positive Behaviour Support

💚 Behaviour is communication.

When children experience challenges with emotional regulation, communication, or daily routines, it can impact the whole family.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) focuses on understanding why behaviours occur and helping children develop the skills they need to succeed.

Through PBS we can help:
✨ Reduce stress at home and school
✨ Build emotional regulation skills
✨ Support caregivers with practical strategies
✨ Improve participation and quality of life

At Innate Therapies Australia, we work collaboratively with families and support teams to create meaningful, lasting change.

📞 Currently accepting referrals for Behaviour Support.

Cairns providers, join us this month for a much needed NDIS update.

There’s a lot changing across the NDIS at the moment and plenty of confusion around what it actually means day to day.

We’ve got industry expert Brent Woolgar coming up to Cairns to run through it properly and answer questions from people working in the space.

If you’re a Support Coordinator, SIL provider or Allied Health, it’ll be a good chance to get clear on what’s coming and have a proper conversation about it.

📍 Whiskey and Wine Bar, Crystalbrook Flynn
🗓 Thursday 21 May
⏰ 5:30pm - 8.00pm

Food and drinks are provided.

Would be great to see a few familiar faces there 👍
