Therapeutic Support
Dr Coby is currently a provider who can offer services through NDIS under Therapeutic Supports - Other practitioner for her BRAIN THERAPIES PROGRAM.
She can support Self-Managed clients. If you are Plan Managed, you will need to give this information to your plan manager or NDIS area manager to ensure this therapy is aligned with your goals, is considered a reasonable and necessary support for you and that you have funds in the appropriate category before proceeding with care.
Services are individualised according to participant goals and needs and may be used alongside other allied health and medical supports. Relevant reports and assessments can be provided.
Depending on your NDIS goals this may be under the category of improved daily living to support independence, improve confidence and interaction in the community. Or under improved relationships to develop social skills and behavioural interventions.

Brain Therapies NDIS Support
Brain Therapies provides individually tailored brain and body-based therapeutic support programs designed to assist children and adults with disability to build, maintain, and improve functional capacity, independence, and participation in everyday life. Programs involve both in-clinic and home-based participation and are tailored to the participant’s identified functional challenges, goals, and
support needs.
Services are delivered as disability-related therapeutic supports using evidence-informed neurological, sensory and movement-based approaches aimed at improving daily functioning, cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and community participation.
Motor & Daily Living Skills
Participants engage in targeted therapeutic activities designed to support development in:
-
Mobility and postural control
-
Balance and coordination
-
Proprioceptive and vestibular processing
-
Fine and gross motor skills
-
Motor planning and sequencing
-
Strength and body awareness
-
Primitive and postural reflex integration
These interventions aim to improve the participant’s ability to perform activities of daily living with greater independence, safety, confidence, and efficiency. Improvements in motor control, coordination, and postural stability may support greater participation in self-care tasks, school or work environments, recreational activities, and community access.
Enhanced Cognitive Functioning
Targeted Brain Exercises and Stimulation may assist with:
-
Attention and concentration
-
Executive functioning
-
Memory and information processing
-
Social skills, communication and speech/language development
-
Problem solving and decision making
-
Repetitive behaviours including tics and stimming
Development in these foundational capacities may contribute toward increased independence, improved adaptive functioning, and enhance participation across home, educational, vocational, economic and community environments. They may also assist with improving relationships and challenging behaviours.
Emotional Wellbeing & Regulation
Brain Therapies also supports participants with emotional and nervous system regulation through calming practices, sensory regulation strategies, and Sensory Enrichment Therapy-based exercises and home activities.
Many participants with disability experience challenges with emotional regulation, stress tolerance, anxiety, sensory overload, and nervous system dysregulation, which can significantly impact their functional capacity and ability to engage
in daily life.
Therapeutic interventions may assist participants in developing improved:
-
Emotional regulation and self-awareness
-
Stress management and resilience
-
Attention and concentration
-
Sleep quality and nervous system regulation
-
Motivation and engagement
-
Confidence in social and community settings
Sensory Processing & Sensory Regulation
Brain Therapies provides support for participants experiencing sensory processing and sensory regulation difficulties through targeted Sensory Enrichment Therapy activities, home exercises, and practical sensory regulation strategies.
Participants may experience sensory seeking, sensory avoidant, or sensory dysregulation patterns that interfere with:
-
Community participation
-
Social interaction and communication
-
Emotional regulation
-
Learning and concentration
-
Daily functioning and independence
-
Development of healthy relationships
Brain Therapy supports are designed to assist participants in improving sensory integration, body awareness, regulation, and tolerance to environmental stimuli through structured sensory-based interventions tailored to the participant’s needs and goals.
Improved sensory processing and regulation may enhance the participant’s ability to participate in everyday environments with greater comfort, confidence, regulation, and independence.
