What is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support is a behavioural approach that encourages clients to reduce and eventually eliminate problematic behaviours through a proactive approach. This method is most effective for children and adults with learning disabilities and challenges, and it can be used to address the underlying cause of the behavioural problem.
Mental health professionals can teach NDIS participants and their carers how to deal with the root cause of behavioural problems using the behaviour support approach.
To name a few, steps taken include improving communication skills, regulating emotions, and focusing on a task at hand.
The individualised approach, on the other hand, is determined by the underlying cause of the patient’s problem and the behaviours displayed.
The methods included in the behaviour support plan will be used to replace and eventually eliminate undesirable behaviours.
