Psychology Interventions
DAISI’s Psychological Services have been established with the mindset that different issues require different solutions or interventions. Every person is unique and brings their own set of circumstances with any request for help. Our psychologists are able to provide a range of evidence-based interventions in response to the variety of issues that can present for people. We have the ability to provide both individual and group based therapeutic interventions, depending upon the needs of our clients.
Psychology Assessments
DAISI can provide the below packages:
- Cognitive and functional assessments to inform support planning and NDIS funding.
- Above assessments plus neuropsychological testing, behavioural assessment, risk assessment, mental health screening and ASD diagnosis.
- Comprehensive/complex diagnostic and psychosocial assessment including all of the above.
Positive Behaviour Support
Taking a proactive and holistic approach to supporting people with disability in situations where behaviour they display is deemed challenging and has potential negative impact on daily activities, learning, relationships, quality of life, and community participation.
DAISI’s Clinical and Provisional Psychologists will use Positive Behaviour Support strategies and methods that aim to increase the person’s quality of life and reduce behaviours of concern.
