Positive Behaviour Support

Understanding behaviour, building skills and supporting meaningful improvements in quality of life.

A Behaviour Support Practitioner works alongside individuals, families and support teams to understand behaviours of concern and develop practical, person-centred strategies.

Behaviour support focuses on understanding each person, recognising their individual needs and exploring what their behaviours may be communicating.
