Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support is a scientific and evidence-based approach that focuses on improving the quality of life for the participant and their support network; whilst protecting their values and rights.
The complexity of behaviour can often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Our team at Simply Behaviour is skilled at making complex behaviour simple. Consultations with a Practitioner is the first step towards understanding challenging behaviour and why it may be occurring. Our Practitioners work in collaboration with the participant and all stakeholders to ensure that all Positive Behaviour Support Plans developed are person centred and contain effective strategies that provide real outcomes and improvements in quality of life.

Our goal is to empower the participant and their support network to implement positive changes which support a reduction in the frequency and intensity of challenging behaviour. Our highly-trained team of professionals provide ongoing support to enable long term outcomes ensuring support is consistent and representative of the participants needs.
We offer our services across Queensland including regional and remote communities. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the behaviour support they need, regardless of their circumstances or location.
The benefits of Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support has many benefits from increasing quality of life to helping individuals reach their full potential. We work with our participants to gather vital information so that we can get to know them and understand what they are communicating by engaging in behaviour. We then develop a Positive Behaviour Support plan that is truly reflective of the individuals goals and challenges, and that is culturally appropriate.
We empower participants to stay in control of the choices being made and we consistently work with them to ensure the participant and their support network are happy with the level of service being received.
Our plans are carefully curated based on the individual and we support participants to:
Build and maintain strong and genuine relationships
Have the tools & strategies to manage stress and anger
Learn social skills to maintain positive relationships
Get involved in their community to try new activities and meet new people
Make sure they have a safe environment where their behaviour and needs are understood
Having the right plan in place and access to the right support can result in an increase in independence and better communication resulting in better relationships. Our team of Behaviour Practitioners are highly skilled at improving the quality of life of participants whilst simplifying the most complex behavioural situations.
We also offer TelePBS
We can provide our Positive Behaviour Support services through telepractice which means no matter your location or circumstances, you can still access the support you require.
We provide TelePBS through a range of platforms such as online meetings, phone calls, text messages and emails, depending on your preferences.
How it works
Our experienced Behaviour Support Practitioners work with each individual to develop an individualised plan that aims at improving quality of life and reducing instances of challenging behaviour. We do this by:
Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)
FBA is a process for collecting information to help determine why certain behaviour occurs and to serve as a basis for the development of a Positive Behaviour Support Plan (PBSP).
​
FBA aims to:

Define behaviour in specific, observable and measurable terms.
1
Determine what aspects of the environment or situation contribute towards the behaviour.
2
Identify the consequences which maintain the behaviour.
3
We develop a Positive Behaviour Support Plan that is aimed at improving quality of life and reducing behaviour of harm and/or concern.

We provide ongoing support to ensure that the participants goals are being met and they are receiving the support they need.
