UNDERSTANDING BEHAVIOUR AND MEETING NEEDS

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) employs various techniques to collect information to understand the meaning behind people's actions. It enhances support and enables individuals to adopt more effective and less harmful ways to fulfill their needs. This often involves a combination of different strategies that improve a person's quality of life.

PROMOTING QUALITY OF LIFE

The main goal of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is to enhance the life quality of an individual and their close associates. PBS ensures timely and appropriate support for a person, allowing them to lead a life filled with meaningful activities, participation, and the opportunity to acquire new abilities.

MAKING SYSTEMS WORK FOR THE PERSON

Providing the necessary support at the appropriate time enables individuals to prosper and achieve their capabilities. This might involve adapting the way support is given. Training may be required for caregivers and staff, and changes might be necessary in service structures and cultures. It's crucial to regularly review to ensure the support remains effective for the individual and those around them.
