At BeChange, we’re passionate about helping parents and educators overcome all kinds of behavioural and developmental challenges.

We believe every child is unique.

Working with children isn’t just our expertise
– it’s our passion.

At BeChange we’re experts in child psychology. And that means even though we’re serious practitioners, we’ll never lose our sense of fun. Every child and family is unique, so we tailor our Services for Children to suit your specific needs.

• Specific Behaviour Services: for children whose parents are concerned with a specific behaviour (12mths – 21 years).
   
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: for behaviours such as anxiety, social phobia, depression, refusal or avoidance of important activities or aggression and self-injurious behaviour (6 – 21 years).
   
• Education Support & Consultation Services: for disruptive or challenging behaviours at school or an early childhood centre, we will collaborate with education providers to develop an individualised behaviour plan.
   
• Early Learner Services: we teach important skills like language, play, social, adaptive, gross motor and fine motor skills, using your child’s own motivation. Parents also learn to model the therapist’s techniques at home (12mths – 6 years).
   
• Primary Learner: we focus on the skills your child needs help with, including language, play/leisure, social, gross motor, fine motor and adaptive skills (6 – 13 years).
   
• Learners for Life: focus is on relevant skills such as language, leisure, social, functional living, adaptive skills and vocational skills (13 - 21 years).
   
• Individualised Programme Development & Supervision Services: we can also support your own carers and independent behaviour therapists with additional training and supervision (12mths – 21 years).

We believe parents are the best teachers.

Raising children is probably the most difficult job you will ever have . . . but the good news is, you don’t have to do it alone.

One of our most important jobs at BeChange is supporting parents and families. Our BOOST programmes equip families with proven strategies to cope with behavioural challenges, so that every child can reach their full potential.

• BOOST Play: fun, practical coaching sessions, where you’ll learn how to embed learning moments into everyday play. Ideal for parents of children with ASD or developmental delays.
   
• BOOST Skills: you’ll learn how to help your child learn the important skills they may have been struggling with (12 – 21 year olds).
   
• BOOST Behaviour: when your child has challenging behaviours that are interfering with their daily life, this individualised programme can help.
   
• BOOST Healthy Eating: if your child has selective feeding issues or food refusal, we can help.
   
• BOOST Toilet Time: our parent-led toileting interventions are tailored towards children with developmental disabilities (3 – 16 years).
   
• STRESS to STRENGTH Parent Workshop: a very supportive group course ideal for parents of children of any age with a disability or developmental delay.

We believe learning should be fun.

We’re here to support educators and professionals.

We take a collaborative approach in working with educators, schools and early childhood centres, for individual students as well as full classroom or school-wide management programmes. We provide teachers with the most up-to-date knowledge in understanding child and adolescent learning and behaviour and also how to apply this to the student’s in their classrooms.

• Special School Consultation Services: we provide short or long term behavioural services to help with severe challenging behaviour, toileting, transitioning students, and other high and complex needs.
   
• School Consultation Services for Mainstream Schools: we provide short or long term behavioural services to help with severe challenging behaviour, disruptive behaviours, social-emotional skills, truancy and other complex behavioural difficulties.
   
• Early Childhood Consultation Services: we can work with your Early Childhood Centre or Kohanga Reo to provide short or long term behavioural services to help with severe challenging behaviour, disruptive behaviours, social-emotional skills, communication delays, developmental delays other complex behavioural difficulties.

We believe in friendly expertise.
