Positive Behavior Support Practitioner

I’m Pankhuri Sharma, a Positive Behavior Support Practitioner at Language For Life, supporting individuals and families across Victoria. With a background in psychology and community services, I bring over 7 years of experience in working with individuals who present with a wide range of behaviors and support needs. While people often call me “bubbly,” I like to think of myself as approachable, grounded, and solutions-focused—someone who shows up with empathy, strategy, and just the right amount of humor.

From physical aggression to sensory seeking, school refusal, and non-verbal communication, I provide behavior support that is person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I create practical strategies and positive behavior support plans that are not only evidence-based but also realistic for families, carers, and educators to implement.

My approach to behavior support is person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I believe behavior is not the problem—it’s the clue. Every behavior tells a story, and I’m here to help decode it, support emotional regulation, reduce restrictive practices, and promote long-term independence and wellbeing.

I am open to collaborative problem-solving, and the occasional bad pun.
Let’s work together to turn confusion into clarity, and challenges into opportunities for growth.
