POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

We understand the close correlation between emotion and behaviour. We understand that each unique action serves a purpose for every individual when it comes to regulating emotions.

ENHANCE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH COLLABORATION & CONNECTION.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) enhances the quality of life of children and adults by building on individuals' unique strengths and creating supportive environments that encourage positive interactions and self-expression.

In collaboration with your team, we develop a customised plan that reflects a deep understanding of your aspirations and objectives. This plan emphasises fostering positive experiences and supportive environments, allowing individuals to thrive and engage meaningfully. By identifying and addressing the factors that may lead to challenging situations, we create strategies that promote resilience and encourage growth, making those situations less likely to arise.

ENHANCING YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE

Positive Behaviour Support enhances your quality of life by constructing innovative support strategies, honing skills, and fostering behaviours aligned with your needs and aspirations.

Together with your team, we create a customised plan based on a deep understanding of your goals and desired outcomes. The plan focuses on eliminating the triggers, incentives, and rewards associated with challenging behaviour to make it unnecessary. Additionally, it will provide guidance on adopting alternative and more suitable behaviours to replace the challenging ones with a focus on:

Positive Behaviour Support: THE BIG PICTURE, Understanding your current routines, cherished values, social networks, and inherent strengths.

BEHAVIOUR PLAN DEVELOPMENT

We evaluate your strengths, risks, and goals, checking for any restrictive practices. If we find one, we create a draft Interim Behaviour Support Plan and share it with you and your team for input. Once you're satisfied, we submit it to the NDIS Commission if it involves restrictive practices.

OUTCOME & RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT

At the end of each service, we give you a recommendation letter to assist you in securing the appropriate level of ongoing support from the NDIS. The NDIA requires evidence demonstrating the nature and necessity of your support needs, and we specialise in gathering, analysing, and presenting this evidence. Your behaviour support and lifestyle objectives are well-defined. Working together, we create a plan and develop the necessary skills to achieve these objectives. Your advancement toward these goals is tracked and documented in a report submitted to the NDIA.
