How does Positive Behavioural Support Work?

Our PBS professionals team up with you, your family, and your support network to really get to the heart of what’s causing challenging behaviours. We focus on your strengths and preferences, aiming to lessen these behaviours while boosting your social and emotional well-being. It’s all about creating a supportive environment where you can develop skills, feel more independent, and be part of the community.

Who PBS helps?

We support people with disabilities who present with challenging behaviours like inappropriate actions, physical or verbal aggression. We tailor positive behaviour support plans to help them manage these behaviours and live happier lives.

We’ve got a team of registered behaviour support practitioners who are all set to assess your needs and develop a personalised behaviour support plan. This plan usually includes:

  • Getting to know you and your living environment
  • Understanding the behaviours and what triggers them
  • Creating practical strategies and positive reinforcement techniques
  • Aiming to reduce restrictive practices
  • Providing skill training and education
  • Coordinating with your therapists, support workers and support team

Quote from Daria

“Instead of seeing someone as ‘challenging’, we focus on understanding their needs and the situations that might be causing difficulty. We work together with individuals and their families to develop solutions that empower them to make choices, live more independently, and experience a fulfilling life”.
