Positive behaviour support is an evidence, value and rights based approach. It focuses on improving a person’s quality of life and understanding the reasons behind behaviour and ways to meet a person’s needs. This includes strategies such as teaching a person new skills, making changes to their environment and providing guidance to their support team.
Positive behaviour support aims to make things better so you can:
• have a good quality of life
• get support that meets your needs and helps you achieve your goals
• be supported by people who are well trained and know the best ways to help you
• get along with others and build strong, long lasting relationships
• have choice and control in your life
• learn new skills and ways to cope when things are hard
• try new things and be a part of your community
• be safe and have your needs and behaviour better understood by others
• have less or no restrictive practices in your life. See below for more information.
