Positive Behaviour Support Australia services
Who Can Benefit from Positive Behaviour Support?
The service can benefit individuals with a wide range of disabilities, including:
Intellectual disability:
Individuals with intellectual disability may have difficulty understanding and communicating their needs and preferences, which can lead to challenging behaviours. Positive Behaviour Support can help to identify underlying reasons for challenging behaviours and develop individualised strategies to promote positive behaviour change.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD):
Individuals with ASD may have difficulty with social communication and interaction, sensory processing and changes in routine, which can lead to challenging behaviours. Positive Behaviour Support can help to develop strategies to prevent and respond to challenging behaviours, and promote socialisation and participation in daily activities.
Acquired brain injury (ABI):
Individuals with ABI may experience changes in behaviour and personality as a result of the injury, which can lead to challenging behaviours. Positive Behaviour Support can help to identify underlying reasons for challenging behaviours and develop individualised strategies to support positive behaviour change.
Mental health conditions:
Individuals with mental health conditions may experience challenging behaviours as a result of the condition, such as aggression or self-injury. Positive Behaviour Support can help to develop strategies to prevent and respond to challenging behaviours, and promote mental health and wellbeing.
