Behaviour Support (also known as Positive Behaviour Support, or PBS) is an NDIS-funded service that focuses on understanding why behaviours of concern occur, and developing practical, person-centred strategies to improve safety, independence and quality of life.
Delivered by a registered NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner, our approach identifies the underlying needs and environmental factors driving behaviour, then builds functional skills, communication and support strategies that reduce risk and improve daily functioning. This includes reducing and eliminating restrictive practices, and creating consistent, supportive environments across home, school and community settings.
Behaviour Support Practitioner services are delivered in partnership with Affinity EFL.
This may include
-
Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBAs)
-
Development and implementation of person-centred Behaviour Support Plans
-
Understanding communication and unmet needs.
-
Building self-regulation, coping, and independence skills.
-
Supporting families, carers, and support teams.
-
Developing practical strategies that can be used in everyday life.
-
Reducing and, where possible, eliminating restrictive practices.
Behaviour Support is provided within the scope of a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner. Developmental Education expertise provides an additional lens for understanding development, learning, communication, and capacity building, ensuring supports consider the whole person, including their strengths, needs, environment, and goals, rather than focusing only on behaviours of concern.
