    • What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?

    Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centered, evidence-based approach used to understand and support individuals with behaviours of concern. In the NDIS context, PBS aims to improve quality of life by addressing the underlying causes of behaviour, rather than just the behaviour itself.

    PBS is not about control, it’s about empowerment, dignity, and inclusion. It helps individuals build skills, improve communication, and thrive in their environments.

     

    • How PBS Works in Practice

    At Rivergum Allied Therapies, our PBS process is grounded in best practice and tailored to each individual:
    Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)
    Our expert and experienced practitioners conduct in-depth assessments to understand the “why” behind behaviours.

     

    Behaviour Support Plan (BSP)
    We develop clear, practical, and strengths-based plans that focus on proactive strategies and skill-building.

     

    Training & Collaboration
    We train support teams and families to implement plans consistently and compassionately.

     

    Ongoing Monitoring & Review
    Our team ensures plans evolve with the individual’s needs, using data and feedback to guide improvements.
