Positive Behaviour Support
Behaviour Support, as a Service
We offer NDIS Behaviour Support services for adults and children, using positive and neuro developmentally informed approaches. We are a team of NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioners, that are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
Core aspects of the Behaviour Support service include:
Clinical Assessment, including a Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)
Creation of an interim plan or interim strategies if there are current risks or restrictive practices.
Development of a comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan (BSP), to create a plan that everyone can more consistently work from when getting to know the person and how to support them.
Training and implementation of the Behaviour Support Plan.
Utilising evidence-based practices to build the persons capacity and quality of life.
Positive Behaviour Support, as an Approach.
As a NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner, there are evidence-based approaches and theories that can tailor this service to the individual person, facilitating effectiveness and quality of life. We as a team typically draw from approaches including:
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS).
Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT).
Behavioural Science, and empowering aspects of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) research that fit with NDIS Positive Behaviour Support.
Where suitable, Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT).
Putting the therapy jargon aside, this means that - we draw from the evidence base when providing behavioural support, we can approach NDIS behaviour support in a person centred way (i.e. not with a cookie cutter approach), we work in a way that recognises the pattern of human brain development, we acknowledge the natural emotional/behavioural drives humans have, and we appreciate the phenomenal spectrum of neurodiversity.
Positive Behaviour Support, working with the individual and the environment.
Behaviour Support allows us to work with the challenges that occur between the individual and their environment.
As a general statement on ‘challenging behaviours’ - here, we don’t describe them as ‘challenging’ because of some fundamental problem they contain - we suggest that the ‘challenge’ occurs when the behaviour does not ‘fit’ the environment, and ineffectively meets the persons needs. This perspective, provides plenty of room for effective behaviour support, which supports and maintains more adaptive behaviour.
