How does Charlie work?

Every CHSA behaviour support journey follows the same steps, with timings you can plan around.

  1. Initial consultation

    90 minutes. Getting to know the person, their goals and their support network.

  2. Quick safety plan

    Within 1 month. Early strategies to keep everyone safe while we learn more.

  3. Functional behaviour assessment

    Before the full plan. Understanding the reasons behind behaviours of concern.

  4. Comprehensive behaviour support plan

    Within 6 months. Practical strategies built on what the assessment found.

  5. Team training

    Once the plan is ready. For family, support workers and educators, so the plan works day to day.

  6. Regular reviews

    At least yearly. Checking what's working and updating the plan as life changes.

In Charlie’s words

“In our work together, I take the time to really get to know you: your goals, your strengths, and what matters most to you. From there, we build practical, personalised strategies that support independence, confidence, and improved quality of life.”
