Everyone, including people with disabilities, is exceptional and vital. Diverse differences can often cause difficulties for unfamiliar individuals with how to react when concerning behaviours occur. Whatever the case, it is critical to recognise that any behaviour is a means of communication with a particular function. With the help of Behaviour Support Programs offered by Positive Moods, challenging behaviours may be understood and handled to reduce the probability of their occurrence and replace them with more positive means of contact. With the programs offered by Positive Moods, assisting caregivers, families, and friends will further understand the behaviour of their loved ones.

People will often use their behaviour to communicate that something isn not right in their lives. If it is potentially harmful behaviour, it will frustrate those around the individual or something that interferes with their desire to do the things they love.

Positive Moods’ Behaviour Support services enhance the quality of life for Canberra residents who exhibit challenging behaviour. Challenging behaviour often impacts people’s relationships and can put the individual or others in danger. Individuals with learning disabilities and their caregivers are supported by behaviour service teams. They may vary in terms of the programs they deliver. For example, others may provide tests for evaluation or various interventions to assist people with their behaviour. Positive Moods has a team of experts such as psychiatrists, speech and language therapists, and medical practitioners to assist individuals and families in need of support.

Behaviour Support Services are available to individuals with developmental disabilities whose behaviour makes it impossible for them to participate in daily lives, environments, tasks, and relationships.

What is Behaviour Support Services?

Behaviour Support Services allow mental health professionals to collaborate with both the disabled person and their support systems. Their support networks can include their family, guardian, staff/carers, advocates and friends. These team of experts would devise and carry out a strategy to mitigate the effects of the person’s challenging conduct. They will track and discuss this arrangement for the disabled person and ensure that it operates well. This is to make it possible for the disabled person to be functional and active in the community.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the most effective and well-validated way of treating dysfunctional behaviours and helping the person who exhibits them. Individuals’ behaviour should be improved by the use of Positive Behaviour Support. Positive Behaviour Support assists clients with eliminating challenging behaviours and also aiding them in building the skills necessary to ensure that they do not continue to resort to such behaviours in the future. It is about more than just behaviour. It is about developing skills, learning to communicate, managing emotions, and so on. Healthy Behaviour Support Intervention reduces the likelihood of patients participating in unhealthy behaviours and encourages beneficial outcomes.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) defines Specialist Behavioural Intervention Programs as “highly advanced integrated support services to address significantly risky or recurrent behaviours of concern.” Behaviour Support Plans is utilised to manipulate behaviours temporarily to reduce their use.

Positive Behaviour Support Plans and Assessments are intended to increase a person's quality of life by improving skills and growing freedom. The goal is to alleviate stressful behaviours through skill development, frustration management, and the implementation of alternate behaviours. Our plans expand the capability and confidence of the person's support team in providing substantive and valued assistance. Following the test, which includes a functional behaviour assessment, a process is developed and implemented and includes both planning and regular follow-up and review.

How is Behaviour Support provided?

A highly trained psychologist will meet the client and those who help them collect knowledge about the problematic behaviour and get to know the individual and their lifestyle. The therapist can frequently collect understanding about a person's medical background, contact preferences.

After which, a written behaviour support plan will be developed. Through ongoing consultation and support, the therapist will help the person and those who care for them to implement the strategies until we know they work.

What is a Behaviour Support Plan?

A Behaviour Support Plan is a written document created in collaboration with the client, their families, and those who support them by our Behaviour Support Practitioner. It is basically a “how-to” guide that offers advice on how to help and encourage a person who shows concern behaviours and specific solutions and ability enhancement to minimise the person's desire to use concern behaviours in the future.

Years of testing, input, and collaboration with caregivers, service staff, and families is what defined the Behaviour Support Plan. The therapist took "what works," which is constructive behaviour reinforcement and holistic evaluations. It is mixed it with a personalised approach and no two programs are the same. The behaviour support plans are realistic, easy to understand, and produce real-life results.

The Behaviour Support Practitioners from Positive Moods are also NDIS Specialist Behaviour Support Providers with tertiary education and years of experience delivering Behaviour Support.

The Positive Moods Behaviour Support Team assists and trains adults with disabilities, their families, and/or caregivers. Behaviour Support focuses on a thorough evaluation of whether the behaviour happens and the implementation of a written behaviour support strategy that provides people who support the individual with measures to adopt when the behaviour occurs and in general for the person to minimise the need for them to use these behaviours.

Behaviour Support is more than about training and enforcing rules. It is all about building partnerships and support networks that help people enjoy personally rewarding lives. Positive Moods assist clients and their communities in achieving their aspirations by encouraging freedom and quality of life while reducing problematic behaviours. Positive Moods is an accredited NDIS Behaviour Support Services Provider with a long tradition of linking people with disabilities to the services and support they need.
