Positive Behaviour Support, end to end

Positive Behaviour Support is about improving everyday life — not just managing the hard moments. It's an evidence-based, person-centred approach that lifts quality of life and reduces behaviours of concern, and here's how we walk participants, families and teams through it, from the first assessment to lasting change.

We support participants of all ages — including early childhood (under 6) and older children, teens and beyond.

Step 01

Functional Behaviour Assessment

A Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) helps us understand the purpose behind behaviours of concern. Through observation, interviews and data, we identify triggers, patterns and unmet needs — so support is built on real understanding, not guesswork.

  • Observation across home, school and community
  • Interviews with the participant, family and care team
  • Clear, plain-language findings
  • Foundation for an effective behaviour support plan

Step 02

Interim Behaviour Support Plan

When behaviours of concern need a prompt response, an Interim Behaviour Support Plan puts immediate, practical strategies in place — keeping the participant and those around them safe while the comprehensive plan is developed.

  • Rapid response to urgent behaviours of concern
  • Practical, easy-to-follow strategies
  • Safeguards for participant and carers
  • Bridges to the comprehensive plan

Step 03

Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan

A Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plan draws on the assessment to set out person-centred strategies that build skills, improve quality of life and reduce behaviours of concern over time — developed with everyone who supports the participant.

  • Person-centred and strengths-based
  • Skill-building and proactive strategies
  • Developed with family and care team
  • Reviewed and adjusted as things change

Step 04

Restrictive Practice Reduction

Our behaviour support includes reducing — and where possible eliminating — restrictive practices, replacing them with positive, proactive strategies that protect a person's rights and dignity, and helping teams build the skills to rely on them less over time.

  • Reduce and fade restrictive practices over time
  • Rights- and dignity-focused alternatives
  • Clear data tracking to evidence reduction
  • Capacity-building so teams rely on them less

Step 05

Training & Capacity Building

Behaviour support works best when everyone is confident. We train and coach families, carers and support workers to implement strategies consistently — building lasting capacity within the participant's everyday team.

  • Hands-on coaching for families and carers
  • Support worker training and modelling
  • Consistent implementation across settings
  • Lasting capacity that stays with the team

How it works

1

Referral & intake

A support coordinator, family member or participant gets in touch. We confirm funding and gather the basics.

2

Assessment

We complete a Functional Behaviour Assessment — understanding the why behind behaviours of concern.

3

The plan

We develop an interim and then a comprehensive behaviour support plan, with the participant and their team.

4

Implement & review

We coach the team to put the plan into practice, then review and adjust as things change.
