All About Positive Behaviour Support in Subiaco, WA

What is Positive Behaviour Support?

Positive Behaviour Support transforms quality of life by building new support strategies, skills and behaviours to meet a person’s needs and goals.

How can Positive Behaviour Support help NDIS participants in Subiaco?

Positive Behaviour Support allows NDIS participants to live their lives to the fullest — it strengthens communication, helps improve social participation and relationships and allows them to make their own choices which benefits self esteem. Removing and eliminating restrictive practices and increasing quality of life with the aid of learned skills helps to make the person happier — which will inevitably reduce the behaviour of concern. This will have a knock on effect to all of those around the person, leading to a healthier community in Subiaco!

What does a Positive Behaviour Support Plan involve?

An NDIS Behaviour Support Plan is a person-centred document developed to improve a person’s quality of life.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Practitioners conduct functional behaviour assessments and develop behaviour support plans in collaboration with the person and their support network, which may include family, friends, and teachers. These plans are based on the person’s goals, needs, and assessment results and aim to look at the reason behind the behaviour, working to build knowledge, increase skills, reduce and eliminate restrictive practices and promote quality of life to reduce the behaviours of concern.

In Positive Behaviour Support, what does it mean to be person-centred?

To be person-centred means to see the person before anything else: before diagnosis and before the behaviour. Connecting with the person as a human, making the effort to understand their personality and listen to what makes them happy and unhappy before then working outwards. Allowing the person to make their own decisions based on what is important to them, and aiming to promote quality of life, above all, is paramount in person-centred care.

What are “behaviours of concern”?

The old term “challenging behaviour” tries to describe what a behaviour of concern is, but instead alludes to deliberately difficult and unwarranted behaviour and places blame and encourages stereotyping.

The new and improved phrasing“behaviour of concern” focuses on the underlying reason behind the behaviour, placing no blame and avoiding negative connotations about the behaviour. It refers to behaviours with intensity, frequency and duration which put the person and/or others at risk, or limits the persons or other peoples access to resources. This could include verbal and physical aggression, or refusing to follow rules.
