Building Independence: Ellie Jane Support Services & Positive Behaviour Support Explained

This week on the All Ability Hour, DJ Sparky and Patty welcome two insightful guests for an episode focused on independence, support, and better outcomes for people living with disability. First, Ellie from Ellie Jane Support Services shares how her journey through community services and the NDIS led her to create a provider focused on helping young people build independence after leaving school. The conversation explores the gaps many school leavers face, the importance of everyday living skills, and how the right support can help participants work toward goals like getting a licence, finding work, and living more independently. https://www.elliejanesupportservices.com/ The episode also features Leonie and Georgie from Outcomes Connect Australia, who unpack the role of Positive Behaviour Support and why understanding the person behind the behaviour is so important. They explain how behaviour support plans are developed, how restrictive practices are only used to reduce risk of harm, and why collaboration across the whole care team is essential. It’s an informative and empowering episode highlighting person-centred support, real-life success stories, and the importance of creating pathways to greater independence and quality of life. https://www.outcomesconnect.com.au/
