Our Support Includes:
Understanding Behaviour
PBS involves understanding the reasons behind behaviours, including life history, physical health, and emotional needs.
Person-Centred Planning
Support plans are tailored to the individual's unique qualities, needs, and dreams, focusing on positive aspects to reduce challenging behaviours.
Skill Development
Negative behaviours are replaced with newly learned skills, helping individuals manage their environment and interactions more effectively.
Proactive Strategies
Trigger events that lead to undesirable behaviours are identified and removed from the person's environment.
Community Integration
PBS encourages active participation in the community, fostering social inclusion and reducing isolation.
