For any other questions related to positive behaviour support services, please contact us.

Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding the reasons behind challenging behaviours and replacing them with positive, adaptive alternatives. It aims to improve quality of life, foster skill development, and reduce behaviours of concern through proactive strategies.

PBS services are available to individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults with developmental, intellectual, or mental health conditions. Services can be accessed privately or through third party referrers such as NIISQ or iCare, depending on eligibility and funding arrangements.

It’s a practical guide designed to support carers, educators, and support staff in providing consistent, effective assistance.

The time required depends on the individual’s needs and the complexity of the behaviour. On average, assessments and plan development may take several weeks, as we ensure the plan is thorough, practical, and aligned with ethical standards.
