Amanda Wood has worked in disability services for more than 30 years and has been developing Behaviour Support Plans since 1994.

Over that time, Amanda has written and reviewed thousands of Behaviour Support Plans and supported people with disability across a wide range of community, accommodation, education and specialist support settings. Her experience spans intellectual disability, autism and psychosocial disability, including individuals with complex support needs, restrictive practices and behaviours that place housing, relationships and community participation at risk.

Amanda continues to actively review Behaviour Support Plans through her role at Real Therapy Solutions and has contributed her expertise to specialist Behaviour Support review panels across Sydney. She has also provided consultation to government and non-government organisations on clinical governance, service quality and Behaviour Support practice.

Throughout her career, Amanda has trained hundreds of Behaviour Support Practitioners, Psychologists and Support Workers in the application of Positive Behaviour Support. She has directly supervised and mentored more than 50 practitioners and is recognised for her practical, informative and solutions-focused approach to clinical leadership and practitioner development.

As Clinical Director, Amanda leads the clinical governance, quality and professional development of Behaviour Support services across Real Therapy Solutions. Her focus is ensuring participants, families and support teams receive Behaviour Support that is evidence-based, practical and capable of creating meaningful change in everyday life.

Direct Access to Clinical Leadership

We believe participants, families and referral partners should have direct access to experienced clinical leadership when they need it.

Every Behaviour Support service we provide is supported by strong clinical governance, practitioner mentoring and oversight from Clinical Director Amanda Wood, who brings more than 30 years of experience in disability and Behaviour Support.

Amanda welcomes conversations regarding referrals, complex support situations, Behaviour Support options, service enquiries and opportunities for collaboration with participants, families, Support Coordinators and service providers.
