Positive Behaviour Support
NDIS funded service
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is primarily focused on supporting individuals with disabilities or neurodiversity and it typically addresses behaviours that are considered challenging, disruptive or interfering with the individual's quality of life or inclusion in the community.
Behaviours may include:
-
Self-injurious behaviours (e.g., head-banging, self-biting)
-
Aggressive behaviours (e.g., hitting, kicking, biting others)
-
Disruptive behaviours (e.g., yelling, tantrums, property destruction)
-
Repetitive or stereotypic behaviours (e.g., rocking, hand-flapping)
-
Socially inappropriate behaviours (e.g., public undressing, inappropriate sexual behaviours)
-
Non-compliance or avoidance behaviours
PBS aims to understand the function or purpose of these behaviours and provide support through teaching alternative skills, modifying the environment, and promoting positive behaviours that serve the same function in a more appropriate manner.

01
Personalised treatment plan
We emphasise the importance of understanding your unique strengths, preferences, and goals. This information is used to develop a personalised support plan that promotes positive behaviour and enhances your quality of life.
02
Collaborative support
We involve you, your family members, and other support providers in the process. We work together to develop and implement the support plan, ensuring consistency and coordination across settings.
03
Evidence-based strategies
We utilise evidence-based strategies, such as modifying the environment to minimise triggers, teaching alternative skills, and using positive reinforcement to increase desired behaviours. These strategies are tailored to your specific needs and goals.
04
Improved quality of life
The ultimate goal of PBS is to improve your overall quality of life by promoting inclusion, independence, and meaningful participation in valued activities and relationships. I will support you in achieving these goals and enhancing your quality of life and well-being.
