Referral to review

Step 1

Referral

You, the family or the person can start it. We talk it through first, and Rachelle works out whether we can help, and how.

If a restrictive practice is in use without a plan, say so on referral.

Step 2

Assessment

Observation across the places the person spends time, the data, and the people who know them. We work out what each behaviour is for.

Where risk is high or a restrictive practice is already in use, an interim plan with safety strategies goes in first, while the full assessment runs.

Step 3

Planning

Function-based strategies, designed with the team, written for the family, the support workers, the school and community access.

Where it’s safe to, we work on reducing any restrictive practice in the plan.

Step 4

Implementation

Hands-on training for family and support workers, and check-ins while the plan beds in.

If anyone’s unsure what to do when it counts, we’ll talk it through with them.

Step 5

Review

Reviews led by the data, not the calendar. We adjust what isn’t working and check progress against the goals the person set.

We lodge what the Commission requires and tell you what it shows.
