At Solongo Early Intervention, we provide compassionate and evidence-based positive behaviour support in Melbourne for children and their families. From building social skills for children to helping them navigate challenging behaviours, we empower kids to grow more independent and lead fulfilling lives.
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred, strengths-based approach focused on understanding the reasons behind behaviours and creating proactive strategies to promote positive change. Rather than reacting to behaviour, we aim to identify triggers, teach new skills, and support children to express themselves in safe and functional ways.
Whether your child is experiencing frequent meltdowns, self-injury, aggression, or difficulty following routines, our qualified team is here to support you. We also offer individualisedESDM parent training, helping caregivers implement strategies from the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and evidence-based strategies to build communication, engagement, and positive behaviours at home.
Our behaviour support services in Melbourne are tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and family. We work with children who may be diagnosed with:
Support may involve functional behaviour assessments (FBA), positive behaviour support plans (PBS), parent coaching, collaboration with kindergartens and schools, and regular progress reviews to adapt strategies as needed.
For children with autism, we also provide access to an experienced EDSM therapist, certified behaviour analyst and registered developmental educator integrating developmental and relationship-based methods where appropriate.
We believe families play a key role in every child’s progress. Our team works closely with you to understand your goals, share clear strategies, and offer support that fits into your daily routines, so you feel confident helping your child at home and in educational settings.
Every child supported by Solongo Early Intervention receives a positive behaviour support plan tailored to their strengths, communication style, and developmental needs. Each plan is individualised and grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring it’s both effective and appropriate for the child’s unique situation.
Our certified professionals work alongside families and educators to:
Our positive behaviour support plans are fully aligned with NDIS requirements and built on respectful, trauma-informed practices.
The early years are a critical time for brain development, learning, and social connection. Addressing behavioural and developmental concerns early can lead to more positive long-term outcomes for your child. With timely support, children can build stronger foundations for emotional regulation, communication, and relationships.

We’re here to help you support your child’s emotional well-being and development, through a caring early childhood intervention program that puts your family first.
We support children from early childhood through to primary years who may be experiencing behavioural or developmental challenges. This includes children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, developmental delay, and emotional regulation difficulties. Families can self-refer or access services through an NDIS plan under Improved Relationships or Capacity Building supports.
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach that looks at the reasons behind a child’s behaviour, rather than simply reacting to it. By identifying triggers and unmet needs, PBS helps reduce challenging behaviours and teaches more appropriate, functional alternatives. It’s proactive, respectful, and designed to support long-term development and wellbeing.
Absolutely. Your child doesn’t need a formal diagnosis to receive support. If you have concerns about behaviour, communication, or social development, we can work with you to identify their needs and start using practical strategies straight away. Early support can make a big difference, even without a diagnosis.
Yes, Positive Behaviour Support is typically funded under the NDIS category ‘Improved Relationships.’ We can help you understand your child’s plan, liaise with your support coordinator, and make sure services align with your goals and budget. We’re happy to help navigate the process with you, so please just ask if you have any questions.
A Positive Behaviour Support Plan is developed by qualified professionals using evidence-based strategies. It’s tailored to your child’s specific needs, not one-size-fits-all. It looks at why behaviours occur and how to support positive change through proactive, practical steps that can be used at home, school, and in the community.

I had the privilege of being supervised by Sharon two years ago, and she was truly one of the most supportive and knowledgeable senior therapists I’ve worked with.

She’s warm, down-to-earth, and always willing to support those around her. I always felt comfortable asking questions and knew I could rely on her guidance.
