Behaviour Support Practitioners are trained in behaviour support strategies. They start with a functional assessment of your needs and use that to prepare a behaviour support plan, in consultation with you and your family or support people.
The plan is aimed at making difficult behaviour unnecessary by removing the things that trigger, encourage or reward that behaviour. It will also teach you alternative and more appropriate behaviour to replace the difficult behaviour.
Ultimately, the plan helps you to achieve your goals, whether that’s improved communication and social skills, safe methods of response to unsafe behaviours, or stress and anger management.
