Our Behaviour Support Staff

Meg is a Social Worker and Behaviour Support Practitioner who specialises in correctional practice, behavioural change, and supporting individuals to build safer, more meaningful daily lives. She is deeply committed to social inclusion and believes strongly in the positive impact that connection, community, and person-centred support can have on overall health and wellbeing.

Meg has extensive experience working with participants who are neurodiverse, have acquired brain injuries, chromosomal abnormalities, or complex support needs. She values collaboration and works closely with both participants and their support networks to create practical, sustainable, and empowering strategies that improve quality of life.

Meg also brings valuable lived experience to her practice, drawing on her own neurodiversity and her experience raising children with disabilities. This perspective enhances her empathy, understanding, and ability to advocate for participants and their families in a compassionate and authentic way.

Meg is part of our Sunshine Coast Team. 

Meagan is an experienced Behaviour Support Practitioner with a strong foundation in allied health and a passion for supporting children, young people, and their families. She began her career as an Allied Health Assistant in a paediatric clinic, where she implemented Speech Therapy, Dietetic, Occupational Therapy, and Physiotherapy plans. This early experience gave her a deep understanding of multidisciplinary practice and the diverse needs of the individuals she supports.

Highly skilled in engaging children and young people, Meagan builds trusting, meaningful relationships that form the basis of effective behaviour support. She has a particular passion for working with neurodivergent individuals and is committed to creating supportive environments that honour their strengths, autonomy, and lived experiences.

Meagan is especially dedicated to supporting parents and carers of young people with a pathological demand avoidant (PDA) profile. She works collaboratively to help families understand their child’s unique needs and to develop approaches that reduce stress, foster connection, and empower young people to thrive.

Grounded in empathy and guided by evidence-informed practice, Meagan is committed to delivering compassionate, person-centred support that makes a genuine difference in the lives of the people she works with.

Ruth brings a wealth of lived experience in Mental Health and Disability, both from personal experiences with her family and herself, as well as 10 years of professional work in the Mental Health and Health sectors. She has been a valued member of AJH, serving as an Allied Health/Behaviour Technician and Yoga Instructor. 

Ruth thrives on the diversity and challenges of her role, which includes collaborating with individuals, therapists, and support providers to develop Behaviour Support Plans, training teams in behaviour support, and working directly with clients and support teams to implement various intervention strategies. She is skilled in data collection and analysis to enhance these strategies, identifying risks and reporting them through appropriate channels, and attending stakeholder meetings to prepare resources for individuals or teams.

With her expertise in Yoga, Ruth integrates stretching techniques, grounding and mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, and mindfulness activities such as art and crafts. She also educates clients about emotions through concepts like Zones of Regulation. Ruth uses visual aids to support the development of routines and structures for regulation and mindfulness, believing that Yoga is not only about physical movement but also a practice of calming the mind and expanding tolerance for challenges, particularly for individuals with disabilities. These practices are included in Behaviour Support Plans only when aligned with an individual’s goals.

One of Ruth’s most rewarding aspects of her role is the strong relationships she has built with her clients, their families, support providers, and the AJH team.

Ruth is part of our Gold Coast Team.
