Positive Behaviour Support in

Ipswich

Positive behaviour support is an evidence-based framework designed to support people when behaviours pose risks or create significant challenges. Rather than simply managing behaviours, PBS seeks to understand what's driving them - the unmet needs, communication barriers, environmental factors, or skills gaps that might be contributing.

What PBS Includes:

Comprehensive Assessment

We start with a thorough functional behaviour assessment to understand the context, triggers, and purpose of the behaviour. This isn't about labelling - it's about genuinely understanding what's happening for the person.

Collaborative Planning

Working together with you, your family, and your support network, we develop a behaviour support plan that's tailored to your real life. Every strategy is person-centred, practical, and designed to be implemented consistently across all environments.

Skill Building & Support

PBS focuses on teaching new skills - communication, emotional regulation, coping strategies - that reduce the need for behaviours of concern. We build capacity rather than just responding to crisis.

Environmental Changes

Sometimes the environment needs adjusting, not the person. We look at what modifications might reduce stress, increase success, and support wellbeing.

Ongoing Review

Behaviour support isn't a one-and-done process. We regularly review progress, refine strategies, and adjust the plan as needs change and skills develop.

How We Work Together

Initial Consultation

We'll start with a conversation - no pressure, no obligation. This is your chance to share what's happening, ask questions, and see if we're the right fit. We'll discuss your goals, current challenges, and how PBS might help.

Functional Behaviour Assessment

If we move forward together, we'll conduct a comprehensive assessment. This involves observing, gathering information from everyone involved, and really understanding the context and function of the behaviours. We take our time to get this right - because understanding is the foundation of everything that follows.

Collaborative Plan Development

Working closely with you and your support network, we'll develop a behaviour support plan tailored to your unique situation. Every strategy will be practical, achievable, and respectful. We'll explain the 'why' behind each recommendation so it makes sense to everyone involved.

Implementation & Training

We don't just hand over a plan and disappear. We'll support implementation, train your team or family members, and be available for guidance as you put strategies into practice. This is where the real work happens, and we're here for it.

Regular Review & Refinement

Behaviour support is an ongoing journey. We'll schedule regular reviews to monitor progress, celebrate wins, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust strategies as needed. Your plan evolves as you grow and develop new skills.

NDIS Funding

Positive behaviour support is typically funded under the Capacity Building - Improved Relationships category of your NDIS plan. Some participants may also have Specialist Behaviour Support funding. We accept self-managed, plan-managed, and NDIA-managed funding. Not sure if you have funding? We can help you understand your plan and navigate the process.
