OUR SERVICES
Support built around people, strengths & possibilities.
From understanding behaviour to building skills, confidence and supportive environments, our services are shaped around the person, their circumstances, and what matters to them.

HOW WE CAN HELP
Different needs. Different paths forward.
No two people, families, teams or organisations are the same. Our work is flexible and collaborative, drawing on behaviour science to understand what is happening, identify what matters, and explore practical ways forward.
Support may involve behaviour assessment and analysis, individual skill building, family guidance, education and capacity building, professional supervision, or consultation with schools, support teams and organisations.
There is no single path that works for everyone. We work alongside the people involved to determine what support may be useful, what fits their circumstances, and what they would like to build towards.
BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS
Understanding behaviour in context.
Behaviour rarely makes sense when viewed in isolation. Behaviour analysis helps us explore what is happening around a person, the circumstances in which behaviour occurs, what may be influencing it, and what the person may be communicating or working towards.
We use observation, data, conversation and evidence-based assessment to develop a better understanding of behaviour within the person's everyday environment.
Rather than looking only at what needs to change, we also look for existing strengths, skills, supportive conditions and opportunities that can help inform a meaningful path forward.
Support may include: Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA), direct observation and data collection, interviews and consultation, functional analysis where appropriate, review of environmental and contextual factors, collaborative goal development, and written recommendations or reports.
SKILL BUILDING
Building skills, choices & opportunities.
Our approach to skill building is influenced by Goldiamond’s Constructional Approach — looking beyond what we may want to reduce or change and asking instead: what can we build?
We start by understanding what matters to the person, the skills and capabilities already available to them, and the circumstances in which those skills need to work. From there, we work collaboratively to identify meaningful skills, alternatives, and opportunities that can be developed and strengthened.
Rather than simply teaching a replacement for something considered challenging, we consider the broader repertoire: what could the person learn, access, communicate, choose, or do that opens up more possibilities in their everyday life?
Skill building is therefore individualised and shaped around the person's existing repertoire, preferences, circumstances, and goals. This may involve communication, daily living, routines, transitions, self-advocacy, participation, community access, social interaction, or other skills that are meaningful to the person.
Support may include: identifying existing strengths and repertoires, collaborative goal development, direct teaching and coaching, building meaningful alternative skills, arranging supportive learning environments, monitoring progress, and adapting support as circumstances and needs change.
SUPERVISION, EDUCATION, & CAPACITY BUILDING
Learning that builds capability.
Good support is not only about having a plan — it is also about building the knowledge and skills to understand, adapt, and respond thoughtfully in everyday situations.
We provide education, training, coaching and professional supervision for individuals, families, practitioners, aspiring behaviour analysts, schools, support teams and organisations. The focus is shaped around who we are working with, what they would like to learn, and where that learning needs to be applied.
Consistent with a constructional approach, we look at what people already know and can do, then build from there. Rather than expecting everyone to learn or work in the same way, education and capacity building is adapted to the learner, their role, their environment, and the situations they encounter.
For practitioners and aspiring behaviour analysts, Edifice Consulting also provides CBA, QBA and BCBA supervision, supporting the development of behaviour analytic knowledge, practical competencies, ethical practice and professional growth in line with the requirements of the relevant credentialing body.
Support may include: individual and team training, family education and coaching, school and organisational consultation, Behaviour Support Plan implementation training, professional development workshops, CBA, QBA and BCBA supervision, practitioner mentoring, and education for aspiring behaviour analysts.
FAMILY SUPPORT
Working alongside the people who know them best.
Families often hold a depth of knowledge that cannot be captured through an assessment or report. They know the person's history, preferences, routines, strengths, relationships, and the many small things that can make everyday life work.
At Edifice Consulting, we see families as collaborators, not simply recipients of recommendations. We bring behaviour analytic knowledge while listening to the knowledge and experience families already have, and work together to understand what matters and explore practical ways forward.
Support is shaped around the person and their family circumstances. This may involve making sense of behaviour, exploring everyday challenges, identifying existing strengths and resources, developing practical strategies, supporting skill development, or helping families consider how environments and routines can better support the person.
Consistent with our constructional approach, the focus is not simply on what a family would like to stop or change. We also ask what would they like to see more of? What skills, interactions, routines, choices or opportunities could be built that would make a meaningful difference in everyday life?
Support may include: family consultation and coaching, understanding behaviour in everyday contexts, collaborative problem-solving, practical strategies for home and community, supporting skill development, environmental and routine considerations, and collaboration with schools, support teams and allied health professionals.
