CONNECT: Rethinking Behaviour in Disability Support.
Introducing CONNECT: Rethinking Behaviour in Disability Support.
A practical, easy-to-read guide to understanding behaviour, building better relationships, and becoming a more confident disability support worker.
We're giving away 1,000 free physical copies to help bring great behaviour support into everyday practice.
Coming summer 2026–27.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The book we wish every support worker could read before their first shift.
CONNECT will help you:
Understand behaviour: Look beyond what you see to understand why it happens.
Build stronger relationships: Discover why connection and trust matter.
Prevent challenging situations: Make small changes that have a big impact.
Support with confidence: Turn behaviour support principles into everyday practice.
Put people first: Promote dignity, choice and independence.
CONNECT complements participant-specific training and behaviour support plans. It doesn't replace them.
WHY WE WROTE CONNECT
Good behaviour support shouldn't be locked away in a 50-page report.
Every day, disability support workers make decisions that shape people's lives.
But understanding why behaviour happens, and knowing how to respond, isn't always easy.
We wrote CONNECT to bridge the gap between behaviour support theory and what actually happens on shift.
Less jargon. More understanding. Better support.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Written by practitioners, for the people doing the work.
We're Raika Testai and Aaron Miller, co-founders of Bespoke Behaviour.
Throughout our professional journeys, we've been fortunate enough to support thousands of people with disability and work alongside hundreds of incredible support teams across Australia.
Along the way, we've seen firsthand what makes great behaviour support possible, and just how much of a difference the right people, relationships and understanding can make.
You'll finish CONNECT with practical strategies you can use straight away to help the person you support feel seen, heard and understood, build stronger relationships, and find more ways to communicate their needs and wishes.
Better understanding. Better relationships. Better support.
1,000 free books. One mission: helping disability support workers make a difference.
