Functional Assessment & Behavioural Interventions Clinic (FABIC) has been designed to respond to the increasing demand by the community for professionals to work with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing behavioural challenges and difficulties effectively managing the demands of their day-to-day life.
FABIC’S goals are to assist clients, their families and carers to develop effective skills (e.g., new appropriate behaviours) to allow individuals to function successfully in their day-to-day life. All programmes are designed to assist individual people to learn appropriate behaviours to replace their current use of inappropriate behaviours in situations they perceive as challenging.
FABIC
recognises a behavioural principal that “All behaviour serves a
purpose”. Thus, Functional Assessment of a client’s
problem behaviour is a fundamental component of FABIC’S therapy
(i.e., investigating the reasons why individual behaviours are occurring). As
a result, all services developed are needs based, practical and individualised. FABIC
is also aware that challenging behaviours are generally a result of person
responding to events occurring within their environment. Therefore
behaviour modification programmes will not only involve the individual
person but may also include those involved in the individuals daily routine. Programmes
offered at FABIC may also focus on teaching carers, parents, teachers
and other professionals to advance their skills to effectively manage
challenging behaviour.
