Positive behaviour support (PBS) for Children and Adults
Connect Allied Health positive behaviour support practitioners are highly experienced to support people with disability across the lifespan.
Positive behaviour support considers individualised strategies for people with a disability that are responsive to the person’s needs, in a way that reduces the occurrence and impact of behaviours of concern, eliminates or reduces restrictive practices, and improves quality of life through building capacity, increasing independence, and fostering social connection.
Our dedicated PBS team are recognised by the NDIS Commission as PBS practitioners and are registered with either the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), Speech Pathology Australia (SPA), Occupational Therapy Australia (OTA), The Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), Developmental Educators Australia Inc. (DEAI), and/or Behaviour Support Practitioners Australia (BSPA).
How we Support
Connect Allied Health focus on person-centred interventions to address the underlying causes of behaviours of concern, or challenging behaviours, while safeguarding the dignity and quality of life of people with a disability who require specialist behaviour support.
These arrangements will include undertaking a functional behavioural assessment, then developing a behaviour support plan containing evidence-based, environmental, and proactive strategies that meet the needs of the participant.
Connect Allied Heath are dedicated to achieving the following outcomes
- Each participant accesses behaviour support that is appropriate to their needs which incorporates evidence-informed practice and complies with relevant legislation and policy frameworks.
- Each participant is only subject to a restrictive practice that meets any state and territory authorisation (however described) requirements and the relevant requirements and safeguards outlined in Commonwealth legislation and policy.
- Each participant’s quality of life is maintained and improved by tailored, evidence-informed behaviour support plans that are responsive to their needs.
- Each participant’s behaviour support plan is implemented effectively to meet the participant’s behaviour support needs.
