Sovereignty was never ceded. No treaty was ever signed. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which this work is made, and that does not become less true with time, legislation or silence.
FREE 2B ME acknowledges Elders past, present and emerging. This body of work exists because systems cause harm when they ask people to become easier to accommodate. No community in this country has been asked to do that more often, or for longer, than First Nations peoples.

Deliver neuroaffirming Positive Behaviour Support from assessment and formulation through implementation, review and restrictive-practice reduction.
Written for practitioners, supervisors, teams and organisations responsible for providing support.
Behaviour, communication and quality of life.
Your distress, communication and behaviour make sense in context. Support should improve quality of life, not erase who you are.
This is a professional practice text. It sets out method, evidence expectations, scope and implementation. It does not certify competence, replace supervision, or authorise any practice beyond a practitioner’s qualifications, registration and governance.
Specialist Behaviour Support participant orientation, team education and professional partnerships.
Accessible formats planned: print, ebook, audio, Easy Read or visual summary, large print, chapter sampler. No book is required to receive support, and complimentary copies are never claimed from an NDIS plan.
