What is behaviour support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
Emerged from the disability rights movement and is grounded in principles of person-centred practice that seek to protect and give expression to a person’s human rights.
Using person-centred approaches to improve a person's quality of life. Life enrichment, choice and human rights are prioritised alongside strategies to reduce the negative impact of challenging behaviour in a person’s life.
Subcontracted under Ladybug Therapeutic Collective
Behaviour Support Practitioner
Everyone deserves to live a healthy and happy life. That's why we offer high-quality, evidence based and person-centred Behaviour Support to help you achieve your NDIS goals.
Behaviour Support Practitioners
Behaviour support practitioners (often referred to as “PBS practitioners”)
Assess the influences on a person’s behaviour, and design interventions to both increase a person’s quality of life and reduce challenging behaviours. Practitioners are engaged across disability and community services, home environments and school settings.
Unlocking Quality of Life Through Communication and Understanding
The heart & Soul of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is about enhancing lives by transforming behaviours. Individuals use behaviour as their most authentic communication, especially when words fail them.
Every action—whether joyful or challenging—is a message reflecting their unmet needs, desires, and experiences. PBS lives for these moments, recognising behaviour as a pathway to understanding and building a better quality of life.
Grounded in multiple theoretical perspectives
PBS balances the science of behaviour analysis with a rights-based, person-centred approach. Each strategy is tailored to be socially and ecologically valid, ensuring meaningful and impactful outcomes within real-world contexts.
At its core, PBS is about more than behaviour—it's about connection, empowerment, and unlocking potential. When we listen to the messages within behaviour, we create pathways to brighter, more fulfilling lives.
Key to this success is stakeholder participation
From the person at the centre of the intervention to their families, support teams, and community. Everyone's voice matters. PBS also embraces systems change, weaving together interdisciplinary support and evidence-based strategies that address every aspect of life.
PBS empowers individuals by focusing on comprehensive lifestyle change
creating environments where challenging behaviours become irrelevant. It's not about "fixing" behaviour but nurturing a sense of control, responsibility, and dignity.
