About BCBM
BCBM has been supporting families for over 25 years, well before the NDIS was introduced.

We have been a registered NDIS provider for many years and have always invoiced under:
15_056_0128_1_3 – Assessment, Recommendation, Therapy or Training – Other Professional.

We are also registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) since there is no specific
peak body for "Other Professional Therapists."

IMPORTANT: We do not provide counselling services or behaviour management (Improved
Relationships) under NDIS.

How BCBM Supports Participants
BCBM therapists are not traditional therapists (Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, or
Psychologists). Instead, we are a specialised service providing neuro-affirming therapies. We provide
evidence-based therapies and strategies to help participants work towards their personal NDIS goals,
including:

• Improving independence at home, school, and in the community.

• Building confidence in social interactions and community participation.

• Managing emotions and sensory needs by developing self-regulation strategies

• Strengthening friendships and family relationship

• Supporting personal care skills like toileting, showering, and dressing

• Helping with daily tasks and routines for parents, carers, and participants

• Building capacity for future transitions (mainstream school, high school, adult programs,

       employment).

IMPORTANT: To enable BCBM to continue supporting participants they need to have ‘BCBM’ or
‘other professional’, or ‘other therapy’ or ‘other allied health’ included in their NDIS plan under
Improved Daily Living as a “STATED” support.

Therapy Modalities Used
BCBM uses neuro-affirming therapies to support participants, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)– Builds psychological flexibility and resilience

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)– Supports emotional regulation and stress

       management.

• Narrative Therapy – Helps participants understand their experiences and develop a strong

       sense of self.

• Interoception Awareness Therapy – Teaches self-awareness and self-regulation by

       understanding body signals.

BCBM provides therapies such as Interoception Awareness Therapy and Declarative Language
Therapy, which are not behaviour management therapies but can help reduce the need for
behaviour intervention.

Interoception Awareness Therapy

• Helps participants understand and regulate emotions by being aware of body signals.

• Encourages self-awareness, improved social interactions, and emotional regulation.

• Supports individuals with ASD to express emotions in a healthy way.

 

Declarative Language Therapy

• Focuses on making statements instead of giving commands to encourage independent

thinking.

• Reduces pressure by helping participants process situations calmly.

• Useful for individuals with autism, ADHD, and emotional regulation difficulties
