- Social withdrawal
- Behaviours that disrupt others, such as screaming, swearing, or inappropriate actions (e.g., removing clothing).
How We Deliver Behaviour Support
Our approach to behaviour support involves the following steps:
- Initial Contact and Assessment
- A Behaviour Support Practitioner (BSP) meets the participant and their support network to identify behaviours of concern.
- A thorough assessment is conducted to document behaviours and their context.
- Input from Support Network
- Relevant assessments are sent to individuals who spend the most time with the participant for additional insights.
- Development of Reports and Plans
- The BSP prepares a comprehensive Behaviour Assessment Report.
- A tailored Behaviour Support Plan is created, offering guidance for managing behaviours.
- Implementation of Behaviour Interventions
- Positive behaviour interventions are introduced to assist the participant and their support network in achieving desired outcomes.
Why Do Behaviours of Concern Occur?
Behaviours of concern often arise as a way for individuals to communicate unmet needs or discomfort. Common reasons include:
- Physical pain or illness
- Side effects of medication
- Underlying conditions (e.g., autism, schizophrenia, Prader-Willi syndrome)
- Hunger, thirst, or nutritional deficiencies
- Environmental factors (e.g., noise, temperature, overcrowding, or boredom)
- Difficulty communicating desires, feelings, or needs effectively
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
Our Behaviour Support Practitioners use Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) techniques to create meaningful and lasting improvements. PBS focuses on understanding the cause of behaviours and providing proactive strategies to enhance the participant’s quality of life.
