What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a proven, evidence-based practice designed to help individuals with disabilities reduce behaviours of concern. PBS focuses on:

  • Understanding the purpose behind behaviours.
  • Developing strategies to improve skills and overall well-being.
  • Empowering individuals to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives.

PBS is not just about eliminating problematic behaviours—it’s about creating opportunities for individuals to thrive and achieve their goals.

Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA)

At Chrysalis, we use Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA) to uncover the reasons behind behaviours of concern. This evidence-based method ensures that every Positive Behaviour Support Plan is:

  • Tailored to the individual’s unique needs.
  • Focused on addressing the root causes of behaviours.
  • Designed to deliver measurable, positive outcomes.

NDIS Positive Behaviour Support Plan

The NDIS Positive Behaviour Support Plan is a personalised roadmap designed to guide carers and support teams. It helps:

  • Identify and understand triggers for behaviours of concern.
  • Implement early intervention strategies to prevent challenging behaviours.
  • Teach alternative, appropriate behaviours to replace problematic ones.

PBS is not just about eliminating problematic behaviours—it’s about creating opportunities for individuals to thrive and achieve their goals.

Chrysalis provides support for a wide range of behaviours, including:
  • Refusal to cooperate.
