Understanding Behaviour Support

Behaviour support is founded on the basic truth that no one acts or reacts without a reason! Instead of just responding to challenging behaviour, behaviour support practitioners aim to expose the underlying causes. The reasons can be communication barriers, an environmental trigger, sensory insatiability or differences, emotional need for something etc.

When practitioners can understand behaviour, they can work on concrete strategies that lead to positive change. The Patient-Cantered domain is targeted toward the well-being of the individual, avoiding matters where their personal rights and preferences conflict with others or directly oppose their goals.

A Person-Centred Approach

An element of behaviour support is its person-centred approach Because everyone has different strengths, challenges, and aspirations, support plans are personalized to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Behaviour support practitioners collaborate with participant and their families, in addition to caregivers and support networks to address the individual goals of someone in NDIS.

Reducing Behaviour of Concern

Individuals may present with behaviour that affect their participation in daily activities, relationships and involvement in the community. We call these behaviour, behaviour of concern because they can impact the safety or wellbeing of the person or others.

What behaviour support does is tries to minimise these behaviour by getting at the root causes and teaching people other, more positive ways of interacting, expressing needs and needs. Positive behaviour support instead encourages teaching behaviour and making environmental changes to enable success rather than utilising restrictive measures. This approach increases better outcomes and supports persistent behavioural changes.

Improving Communication Skills

It is common for frustrations and challenging behaviour to arise from a breakdown of communication. The last of these disciplines, the behaviour support practitioner essentially helps people improve the way they communicate so that they are more able to share their needs, opinions and feelings.

Good communication can prevent misunderstandings, reinforce stronger relationships, and better participation in social and community activities. For most people, developing new communication techniques is a way to go ahead for more independence and more self-belief.

Building Independence and Life Skills
