What is Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based, values-driven, and rights-focused approach that seeks to understand the underlying reasons (functions) behind a person’s behaviour. It aims to enhance quality of life by developing proactive, person-centred strategies that support positive change and reduce behaviours of concern.
Behaviour Support Practitioners are employed by NDIS-registered Specialist Behaviour Support Providers to develop and implement Behaviour Support Plans. These plans outline evidence-based strategies that uphold the person’s dignity, meet their individual needs, and promote meaningful participation in daily life.
Core Principles of PBS
Person-Centred
PBS places the individual at the centre of all planning, focusing on their strengths, needs, preferences, and goals.
Proactive and Preventative
The approach emphasises creating supportive environments and teaching adaptive skills to prevent behaviours of concern, rather than reacting to them.
Holistic
PBS recognises that behaviour is influenced by environmental, social, and personal factors, and addresses these underlying contributors through collaboration and skill development.
