OUR SERVICES
Behaviour Support
Get strategies and supports that help you breakthrough the barriers caused by behaviour, and to create the life YOU want.
We understand that behaviours of concern are part of the picture, but they’re not the whole story.
At HYPE*, we don’t just support behaviour – we seek to understand it.
We focus on uncovering the why behind behaviour, so we can create strategies that reduce distress, build meaningful skills, and support individuals to meet their needs in a safer, more effective way.
Understanding behaviours and Behaviour Support
Behaviour support works with behaviours that negatively impact a persons wellbeing or quality of life and helps understand risks involved and works with family and caretakers to build a plan to reduce those risks.
- Limit where someone can go or what they can do
- Cause physical harm to themselves or others
- Create psychological distress
- Affect learning, relationships, and participation in everyday life
But here’s the thing: behaviour is complex. It’s not always intentional. Sometimes it’s a way of communicating, other times not. And sometimes, the same behaviour can have more than one meaning.
At its core, behaviour support is a proactive, person-centred approach that seeks to understand why behaviours occur.
From here, we build a plan that includes:
Proactive Strategies
Reducing the chances of behaviour occurring
Response Strategies
Supporting the person in the moment
Skill Building
Teaching skills that work better for them
Our approach to Behaviour Support
At HYPE*, Behaviour support is about more than just supporting behaviour – its about understanding it. We know that sometimes behaviour can be complex, and when we assume meaning, we can risk misinterpreting it. Therefore, we don’t assume. We explore with curiosity and use proven methods to achieve the desired outcome

We Look at the Whole Picture
- What’s happening in the environment?
- Are there unmet needs?
- Could sensory processing, apraxia, or motor planning challenges be involved?
- Are there underlying medical conditions?
- What emotional factors might be at play?
- Most importantly, what can we change or teach to help this person feel safe, understood, and supported?
