Positive Behaviour Support- Regional Combined Therapies Services

Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-based approach our therapists use to support children and adults who display behaviours of concern. It is also used to help families and support networks respond more effectively to individuals who display these behaviours.

The first step in Positive Behaviour Support is to identify why the behaviours of concern are occurring. Once we understand what a person is trying to tell us through their behaviour, we can develop strategies to better support them. These strategies might include making changes to the person’s environment (e.g. home, school, work) so that it meets their needs, changing the way others interact and/or communicate with the person, teaching the person new skills or helping meet their needs (e.g. sensory needs).

This may include:

• Behaviour assessments
• Behaviour intervention services
• Behaviour support plans
• One on one direct support
• Skills programs and resources
• Services provided under both ‘Improved Relationships’ and ‘Improved Daily Living’

Each of these activities aim to improve the quality of life of the individual. Support will be tailored to the individual and their specific goals.
