Positive Behaviour Support
Our committed Behaviour Support Practitioners draw on a range of evidence-based strategies to help individuals improve their quality of life, reduce behaviours of concern/risk and build positive skills.
Our Behaviour Support Practitioners use evidence-based, person-centred approaches to improve quality of life, support skill development and reduce the impact of behaviours of concern. Our practice aligns with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework and follows trauma-informed, rights-focused principles.
Our practitioners utilise approaches such as:
- Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) grounded in quality of life, skill development and proactive supports
- Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) to understand the purpose of behaviours of concern and the individual’s support needs
- Trauma-informed practice that prioritises safety, dignity and emotional wellbeing
- Person-centred planning that reflects the individual’s preferences, strengths and goals
- Skill-building strategies that strengthen communication, coping and independence
- Replacement behaviour teaching to support safer and more effective ways of meeting needs
- Environmental and routine modifications to reduce barriers and create supportive conditions
- Training and coaching for families, carers and support teams to ensure strategies are implemented consistently
- Proactive supports that prevent escalation and promote stability and engagement
Our Behaviour Support Practitioners also complete all required behaviour support documentation, including:
- Interim Behaviour Support Plans
- Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans
- Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBAs)
- Regular plan reviews and updates, treating each plan as a dynamic document that evolves as the participant’s needs, strengths and circumstances change
TOC individualised Behaviour Support Plans that are respectful, strengths-based and tailored to the person’s unique abilities, needs and goals. Plans focus on increasing quality of life, reducing the need for restrictive practices and supporting long-term, meaningful improvements in the person’s daily experiences.
