Our approach
Best Behaved Kids uses a neuro-affirming, child-centred approach rooted in current neuroscience research and the brain-body connection. Sessions focus on engaging, experiential social-emotional learning delivered in a safe and supportive manner, guided by the philosophy that "kids do well if they can." The practice is not ABA-based and emphasises strengths-based strategies tailored to each child's skills, neurotype and environment. Therapy happens in the settings where behaviours occur—at home, school or in the community—to achieve the best results. The team collaborates with families and other professionals to build children's skills and support their success, understanding and inclusion.
Working with families
Best Behaved Kids collaborates closely with families as part of their core practice model, working together with parents and carers alongside schools and other NDIS service providers. The team provides families with behaviour support strategies, skill development and training to help children build competence and experience success. Family communication and partnership are integral to the service, though the website does not detail specific communication methods or frequency.
