Choose the support you need
Positive Behaviour Support aims to improve quality of life by understanding the person’s needs, communication, routines and surroundings. At Sigma, the work can include a functional behaviour assessment, an interim or comprehensive behaviour support plan, and practical coaching for the people using the plan. We agree the scope around the person’s goals, existing supports and relevant NDIS funding.
You can ask about a new assessment, help using an existing plan, or a review when needs or circumstances change. Choose an age group below or explore the support you need.

Common questions
Open a question for a quick answer.
Who can refer, and is a GP referral needed?
You can refer yourself, your child or someone you support. No GP referral is needed. We confirm consent or appropriate authority before proceeding. Start with the information you have; tell us about existing plans and deadlines. Referral checklist →
What happens first, and when will a plan be ready?
Your practitioner explores the person’s goals, daily settings and support needs. An appointment and a completed plan are different stages. Timing depends on the assessment and plan needed; intake discusses the proposed stages and any deadlines with you.
Can you help with an existing plan?
Yes. We can discuss implementation, training or review after considering the existing plan, current needs and funding. Implementation and training →
How is PBS funded, and how are hours estimated?
We discuss needs, settings and assessment requirements, confirm funding and provide a written estimate before work begins. For private, school or DCPFS funding, intake checks suitability and arrangements first. PBS fees and funding →
Where can appointments take place?
At Perth clinics, at home, school or supported accommodation, or by telehealth where suitable. Some assessment work needs to happen in person. Intake confirms the appropriate setting and service area. Clinic locations →
