Importance of Functional Behaviour Assessments – Behaviour Support
At The Chrysalis Group, our plans are based on a comprehensive, evidence-based Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA). An FBA identifies where, when and the likely reasons why a behaviour of concern happens. For particularly challenging behaviours of concern, a behaviour support plan is believed to be more effective where it is informed by an FBA. Without an understanding of the function of the behaviour the plan may be less successful.
Our Behaviour Support Process
Assess the client
Our Behaviour Specialists begin by completing a comprehensive assessment of the client by using a variety of evidence-based assessments and clinical observations. Our clinicians attend day and work programs, schools, workplaces, and any activities that the participant is engaged in to identify and evaluate the challenging behaviour and the general setting of its occurrence.
Assess their environment
We then assess the environment to collect behaviour data, such as events, times and situations that predict problem behaviour.
Collaborate with other allied health professionals
Once we have assessed the client and their environment, we then collaborate with other allied health professionals and support people involved in the participant’s life.
Preparation of the carer briefing
Based on the outcome of the assessment, we will then prepare the carer briefing.
Implementation of plan
Finally, we then proceed with the development and implementation of the Positive Behaviour Support Plan and strategies. We deliver tailored training in Positive Behaviour Support plans to ensure effectiveness.
No two individuals and their behaviour of concern are the same. Therefore, it is important for each Positive Behaviour Support Plan to be person-centred and created on a case-by-case basis to ensure maximum effectiveness.
We provide support for behaviours of concern
