Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a proactive, person-centered approach aimed at understanding the root causes of challenging behaviours and replacing them with positive, functional alternatives. It focuses on building essential life skills, fostering independence, and enhancing overall quality of life. By promoting dignity and human rights, this approach helps minimize the use of restrictive practices while creating supportive and empowering environments for individuals to thrive, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential.
A Behaviour Support Practitioner works to develop and implement strategies that support individuals in managing and
overcoming challenging behaviours. They conduct Functional Behaviour Assessments to identify triggers and develop
personalized Behaviour Support Plans. Through collaboration with families, caregivers, and multidisciplinary teams,
they work to promote positive behaviours, enhance quality of life, and protect the rights of the individuals they support.
Behaviour Support Practitioners focus on helping clients develop communication skills, emotional regulation, and
coping strategies to build resilience and independence.
Here’s how our Behaviour Support Practitioners assist individuals in achieving their goals and improving their quality
of life:
