Positive Behaviour Support

Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-based approach with a primary goal of increasing a person’s quality of life and a secondary goal of decreasing the frequency and severity of their challenging behaviours. Positive Behaviour Support is about working with families and carers to develop a shared understanding about why the person has a need to engage in challenging behaviour. Challenging behaviour is often attributed to the person demonstrating the behaviour but the challenge often belongs to those surrounding the person. Family, carers, and support people are often challenged to find out why the person has a need to engage in that behaviour. They want to know what they can do to support the person so they no longer have a need to engage in challenging behaviour. Difficult behaviours are messages that can tell us important things about a person and the quality of his or her life. People who sometimes engage in challenging behaviours are actually telling us something is wrong or missing—and they need help to make it better. The challenge is for people to build support for the person with disability and the people who care for them. At Affection Disability Care, our expert team uses an individualised and comprehensive approach which focuses on addressing the person’s needs, their home environment, and overall quality of life. It helps families and carers alike to teach and encourage individuals to behave in new ways. The approach makes challenging behaviour less likely to happen because it removes things that trigger, encourage, or reward that behaviour. It also helps individuals learn new behaviour to replace the challenging behaviour. We provide a Person-Centred Approach to our valuable clients. Our caregivers have vast experience in dealing with individuals with such needs. We go the extra mile to provide a helping hand to our valuable clients, their families, and relevant stakeholders. Some of the ways we can assist include:

1. Helping the person understand their daily life using clearer ways of communicating with them, such as introducing a picture schedule.
2. Changing the environment to make where they live and work better for him or her (such as reducing high noise levels).
3. Improving the person’s lifestyle so they have more interesting and enjoyable activities to keep them involved and connected with their community, such as helping the person gain employment and supporting recreational or other activities of interest.
4. Changing the environment so the person is involved in meaningful and positive relationships with others.
