what is Positive Behaviour Support?

Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an ethical and empathic approach to supporting individuals whose behaviour is causing them distress or harm, is harmful to those around them, or is preventing them from doing things that are important to them such as attending school, work or community programs.

At Activ8 Mind, we use a trauma informed and neurodiversity affirming approach to providing PBS. This means that we understand how trauma affects a person's mental health, behaviour and overall wellbeing, and we utilise trauma informed assessment tools and intervention strategies to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation. For people who have experienced trauma, our NDIS support practitioners will prioritise ensuring the person feels safe and secure in their physical and social environments, and ensuring we have a strong trusting relationship between the person and their support network before implementing behaviour change strategies.

We use a trauma informed and neurodiversity affirming approaches to providing positive behaviour support. This means that we understand how trauma affects a person's mental health, behaviour and overall wellbeing, and we utilise trauma informed assessment tools and intervention strategies to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation.

Trauma Informed Assessment and Strategy

For people who have experienced trauma we prioritise ensuring the person feels safe and secure in their physical and social environments, and ensuring we have a strong trusting relationship between the person and their support network before implementing behaviour change strategies.

Our neurodiversity affirming approach means we do not seek to change or supress neurodivergent traits through PBS. We focus on behaviours that the person wants to change, because they find them distressing or harmful, or the behaviours are preventing them from doing things that are important to them.

We do not support or encourage the restriction of regulating behaviours such as stimming, self-talk or use of fidget and sensory tools.
