Neuroaffirming Behaviour Support – Australia-Wide
Supporting the Whole Person, Not Just the Behaviour.
Empowering neurodivergent children and families with behaviour support that respects identity, communication, and sensory needs. Delivered via secure telehealth Australia-wide.
What Is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based practice to support individuals who are displaying behaviours that cause concern or challenges to themselves or the people around them.
At Grow Therapy Services, we provide trauma-informed, neuroaffirming behaviour support to neurodivergent children, young people, and their families — across Australia via secure telehealth.
​
We understand that behaviour is communication.
Our role isn’t to manage behaviour — it’s to understand it, meet the underlying need, and support long-term wellbeing through connection, safety, and empowerment.
Whether you’re seeking support for emotional regulation, demand avoidance, school refusal, or day-to-day behavioural challenges — our approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for neurodivergent identity.
Our Approach: The GROW™ Framework
We don’t use sticker charts or “good behaviour” plans.
We work alongside you using our signature GROW™ Neuroaffirming Behaviour Framework — a whole-person approach that respects identity and meets children where they’re at.
​GROW =
G – Grounded in Identity:
We support positive self-understanding and celebrate neurodivergent ways of being.
R – Responsive to Needs:
All behaviour has meaning. We help you uncover the unmet physical, sensory, emotional, or relational needs behind the behaviour.
O – Open to Communication Differences:
We honour all forms of communication — movement, scripting, shutdowns, AAC, or silence.
W – Whole-Person, Whole-System Lens:
Behaviour doesn’t happen in isolation. We consider sensory environments, trauma history, family dynamics, and systemic factors.
Services We Offer
Underpinning Principles of Neuro-affirming PBS
Individualised and Strength based approach
NPBS places a strong emphasis on identifying and nurturing individual strengths. Rather than solely addressing deficits or challenging behaviours, our practitioners seek to highlight and build upon the unique talents and capabilities of each person. This strengths-based and individualised approach contributes significantly to building self-esteem and fostering a positive self-concept.
Intersectionality competence and Sensitivity
NPBS framework encourages practitioners to be intersectionality competent and sensitive to the diverse backgrounds and experiences of individuals. This includes recognising how cultural, gender, socio-economic and other factors may influence behaviour and tailoring support accordingly. By embracing cultural diversity, NPBS promotes a more inclusive and affirming environments for all.
Collaborative and Participatory Decision-Making
NPBS prioritises collaboration between individuals, their families, and support professionals. Inclusive decision-making processes empower individuals to have a say in their own support plans, fostering a sense of autonomy and ownership. This collaborative approach helps create a support system that aligns with the individual’s values and preferences.
