Kylie S.

I am a passionate NDIS-registered Behaviour Support Practitioner with a Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and additional qualifications in Psychology, Mental Health, and Social Work. I am currently completing my PhD in Applied Behaviour Analysis, further deepening my expertise in evidence-based practice. This specialised training forms the foundation of everything I do — from developing comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans and delivering therapy to providing high-quality supervision and progression support for other practitioners.

In addition to my ABA expertise, I am a Certified Ron Davis® Dyslexia Facilitator and trained Play & Art Therapist, I hold certificates in Crisis Prevention and Interventions, Family and domestic violence, Trauma, Internalised Shame in children, Child Protection, Therapy for PTSD & Complex PTSD, giving me a uniquely broad toolkit to support emotional regulation and skill development across the lifespan (ages 3–65).

Over the past ten years I have worked in schools, government services, and private practice, providing behaviour support, therapy, and positive behaviour interventions for children, adolescents, and adults with autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, and complex mental health needs.

As the parent of three children – one of whom is has a disability– I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every family I support. This combination drives my commitment to genuine, person-centred outcomes and my determination to help every individual reach their fullest potential.

At Connective Therapies, my mission is simple: to deliver high-quality, evidence-based behaviour support and therapeutic services that create real and lasting change – for children, adults, families, and the practitioners I mentor.
