Frequently Asked Questions

What is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred approach to understanding and responding to behaviour that challenges. Instead of focusing solely on suppressing unwanted behaviour, PBS aims to identify the underlying reasons for the behaviour and develop strategies to teach and reinforce positive alternatives. It’s about creating a supportive environment where individuals can learn new skills, build self-esteem, and achieve their full potential.
Key Principles include: 1. Person-centred: Focuses on the individual’s needs, preferences, and strengths. 2. Positive reinforcement: Rewards positive behaviour to encourage repetition. 3. Partnership: Involves collaboration between the individual, family, and support staff. 4. Assessment-based: Uses data to understand the function of challenging behaviour. 5. Preventative: Focuses on preventing behaviour that challenges by creating a supportive environment. 6. Respectful: Upholds the individual’s rights and dignity.
The primary goals of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) are to: 1. Improve the quality of life for the individual exhibiting behaviour that challenges. 2. Reduce the occurrence and severity of behaviour that challenges. 3. Enhance the safety and well-being of the individual and those around them. 4. Promote positive social interactions and participation in community life. 5. Develop new skills and increase independence. 6. Reduce the use of restrictive practices and promote human rights.
