Behaviour support, from observation to plan
Behaviour support now runs inside the Case from observation to plan: counted observations, a function hypothesis drafted from the evidence, a plan built as records, incidents with Commission deadlines, and Aldra filing what you tell it.

What’s new
ABC observations you can count
Antecedents and consequences are recorded against set categories, so the Behaviours tab can show a patterns card of what most often comes before and after each behaviour.
Observations recorded without signal
A collection link keeps an observation on the device when there is no connection and sends it once the connection returns. A resend is recorded once, never twice.
A function hypothesis drafted from the evidence
Once a behaviour has at least 10 reviewed observations with a before or after category, Aldra sets out the evidence for and against each of the four functions, with counts and dates, and drafts a hypothesis. Nothing is saved until you save it.
The hypothesis you sign rests on observations you can trace.
Reports read into the profile
Upload a previous report and Aldra proposes the background it contains for the person’s profile. You accept or dismiss each proposal, and a restrictive practice mentioned in a report goes to the register for you to review, never straight onto the profile.
Phase changes and data exports on the dashboard
Mark a phase change and it shows as a dated line on the behaviour charts, alongside hypothesis versions and support plans. Export the raw ABC data as CSV or PDF for a period and behaviour, or send it to a colleague on the Case with clinical access.
A behaviour support plan built as records
A plan builder steps through escalation stages, proactive strategies and a skills plan with SMART goals. The interim and comprehensive behaviour support plans render from those records and show when the plan has moved on. Documents also export to Word.
A change to the plan updates every document drawn from it instead of being retyped.
Plans already written as documents
An interim or comprehensive plan written from its template or imported now shows under Plans. Open it in the plan builder to start a structured plan with its title and type. The original document is kept as it is and linked from the plan.
Incidents through to investigation, with Commission deadlines
Incidents can be edited, assigned and taken through investigation to an outcome, with every change kept. A deadlines list counts down the 24-hour and 5-business-day NDIS Commission notifications in your organisation’s time zone, which you can now set.
Behaviours of concern and restrictive practices in registers
The Behaviours tab lists behaviours of concern and restrictive practices in registers laid out like the goals register, with columns you choose and resize. Each sub-tab has its own add button, and a restrictive practice is added, edited and archived from its own register.
Each restrictive practice use recorded
Record each use of a restrictive practice against an incident or observation. It is checked against the register at the time, can be voided but not edited, and is reported monthly as CSV or PDF.
Aldra files what you tell it
As you talk in a Case, Aldra files behaviours of concern, strategies, support needs, contacts and profile facts, each marked Added by Aldra with Undo until someone edits it. A restrictive practice you say is already in use is filed only as a draft for you to confirm, and Aldra never suggests one.
Availability and how to get it
Live on the web for every organisation. Behaviour support records are visible to people with clinical access.
