Allied Health Assistants (AHAs)

Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) provide practical, ongoing support to help you follow your treatment plan and work towards your therapy goals, alongside your allied health team.

 

Our speech pathologists help with communication, mealtimes, and swallowing

Humanity Allied Health’s positive behaviour support practitioners work with participants to build skills that help you change challenging behaviours into positive ones and improve your quality of life.

Our NDIS behaviour support practitioners will work with you to assess your functional behaviours. Using this information, as well as evidence-based behaviour strategies, we will develop an individualised behaviour support plan to help you reduce behaviours of concern.

Practical Strategies to Support Positive Behaviour Change

Strategies typically include things like building routines, teaching helpful behaviours and responses, as well as techniques for self-soothing and psycho-education. Support teams are also given training in order to help you implement your new plan and minimise use of restrictive practice, with our behavior support practitioners continuing to monitor to ensure your desired outcomes are achieved.

Our speech pathologists help by:

  • Assessing swallowing safety and mealtime risks
  • Recommending food and drink textures when needed
  • Developing practical strategies to reduce choking and aspiration risk
  • Creating clear Mealtime Management Plans
  • Providing training for you, your support workers, families, and carers
  • Reviewing and adjusting supports as needs change

Our focus is on what works in real mealtimes, with clear guidance and consistent support.

Positive Behaviour Support that meets you where you are

Our Humanity Allied Health behavioural support practitioners can see you or your participant at home, at school, in the community, in one of our clinics or via online sessions. We offer flexible service delivery to suit individual needs, preferences and circumstances.

For some people, personal challenges, travel or logistics make online sessions a more practical option, with the added benefit of faster access to behavioural support practitioners who may not be based in the same city. We can travel to a location that works best for you, or where appropriate, provide sessions in one of our clinics.

Communication and AAC support

We support adults with complex communication needs, including people who use little or no spoken language.

Ways we can help:

  • Identify effective everyday communication methods
  • Assess and recommend Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) including speech-generating devices, communication books and Key Word Sign
  • Support the everyday use of AAC across home and community settings
  • Ensure communication systems are meaningful and used consistently
  • Develop your ability to understand information, communicate ideas, plan and organise your thinking, and improve how speech sounds are made
  • Build the skills and confidence of support workers and families

    Our focus is on communication that works in daily life, not just in appointments.
