  • Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)
  • Behaviour Support Plans (BSPs)
  • Reducing restrictive practices
  • Improving quality of life and independence

What is a Positive Behaviour Support Plan?
A Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) is a structured document developed by a PBS practitioner that outlines strategies to reduce behaviours of concern and support skill development in daily life.

Examples include:
  • Visual schedules and routines

  • Environmental adjustments

What are reactive strategies in PBS?
Reactive strategies are used during or after behaviour to maintain safety and reduce escalation, focusing on calm, consistent, and non-punitive responses.

​​What causes challenging behaviour?
Challenging behaviour is often a form of communication and may be linked to:
  • Communication difficulties
  • Sensory needs
  • Emotional regulation challenges
  • Environmental stressors
  • Unmet needs

What are triggers in Positive Behaviour Support?
Triggers are events or situations that increase the likelihood of behaviour. These can include:
  • Environmental changes
  • Demands or transitions
  • Sensory overload
  • Social interactions
