Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) involves developing personalised, neuroaffirming strategies that support people with disability in ways that respond to their underlying needs, reduce distress, and minimise behaviours of concern and the use of restrictive practices.
PBS focuses on evidence-informed, person-centred supports that seek to understand the reasons behind behaviours, while promoting dignity, autonomy, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Delivering impactful Positive Behaviour Support plans
The value of a behaviour support planA positive behaviour support (PBS) plan delivers multiple benefits. It improves an individual’s quality of life, employs person-centered approaches, and reduces behaviours of concern. It also enhances communication and relationships, reducing the need for restrictive practices, and enables skill development. It also aims to upskill those that support the person day-to-day, to ensure they feel confident in meeting the individual’s needs and minimising behaviours of concern.
Additionally, it aids caregivers and professionals, ensuring lasting success and maximising their ability to support the person long-term, reducing carer’s fatigue and burden.
PBS plans are holistic and proactive, aiming to create a safer and more fulfilling environment for individuals.
