Restrictive practices are sometimes included in Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs) to manage behaviours of concern, but they are carefully regulated under the NDIS.

For NDIS participants with behaviours of concern, the Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) is the roadmap for implementing Positive Behaviour Support (PBS).

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a key approach used within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to help people manage behaviours of concern, but what exactly does it mean?

Implementing Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) involves a structured, person-centred approach to managing and reducing behaviours of concern while promoting the individual’s quality of life. Here's what participants and their caregivers can expect

In the realm of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), understanding and addressing the communication needs of individuals is paramount to delivering effective behavioural interventions. Functional communication skills are a crucial aspect of human behaviour, influencing how individuals express their needs, desires, and emotions. Assessing these skills is essential for developing personalised, person-centred PBS strategies that not only reduce challenging behaviours but also enhance the quality of life for individuals.

Motivating operations (MOs) are a fundamental concept in understanding human behaviour, particularly in the context of behaviour analysis and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). MOs influence the effectiveness of reinforcers and punishers, thereby playing a crucial role in shaping how we respond to different situations. This blog post aims to provide a general insight into motivating operations and their significant impact on human behaviour.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred approach that seeks to improve the quality of life for individuals by addressing challenging behaviours through evidence-based strategies. Within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) sector in Queensland, PBS plays a critical role in delivering effective behaviour support interventions. These interventions not only aim to reduce challenging behaviours but also promote skill development, enhance social inclusion, and improve overall well-being.
