Our team of experienced clinicians specializes in developing Person-Centered Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Plans for individuals with complex needs.
A Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plan is often used interchangeably with a Complex Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) or a Behaviour Intervention Plan (BIP), but there are some differences in emphasis and application.
PBS plans and BSPs aim to address challenging behaviours, PBS plans take a more holistic and proactive approach, focusing on understanding and meeting the individual’s needs to promote positive behaviour change. On the other hand, BSPs are more specific to addressing complex behaviours and may involve more detailed and intensive strategies to manage these behaviours effectively.
By offering these services, AAA a Registered NDIS Provider can tailor a plan to meet your specific requirements, promote positive behavior change, and enhance quality of life.
What is a Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach aimed at improving an individual’s quality of life and reducing challenging behaviours by understanding and addressing their underlying causes. PBS integrates principles from behavioural psychology and person-cantered planning to create strategies that encourage positive behaviours and minimize the likelihood of problematic actions.
Key components include:
- Functional Assessment: Understanding why challenging behaviour occurs by analysing its antecedents, consequences, and functions.
- Person-Cantered Planning: Developing support plans based on the individual’s unique needs, strengths, preferences, and goals.
- Skill Building: Teaching alternative behaviours that fulfill the same needs as the challenging behaviour in more appropriate ways.
- Environmental Adjustments: Modifying surroundings to minimize triggers and create supportive conditions.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Using data to continuously monitor progress and refine strategies.
PBS is used in various settings, including schools, care facilities, and homes, to support individuals with behavioural challenges, particularly those with developmental disabilities.
Through PBS, we strive to enhance each individual's quality of life
