Positive Behaviour Support Plans

Positive Behaviour Support Clinicians are strongly encouraged to complete their training with the Institute of Applied Behaviour Analysis (IABA) Los Angeles (or be in the process of obtaining) that training/qualification before they can complete a Positive Behaviour Support Plan (PBSP). This framework is considered the gold standard of Applied Behaviour Analysis because it utilises a non-aversive, multi element plan whose foundations are based on respect, dignity, least restrictive and person-centred approach.

The Clinician completing a PBSP will have a broad understanding of the varies disability types and the impact of that on the person. PBSP clinicians work alongside other services (e.g. Education, Health, Advocacy, Child Safety etc) to ensure holistic service provision. Additionally, the Clinician will work alongside the support network including the participant and those involved in direct service delivery with the person to ensure consistency of services that is the least restrictive possible and that there is a clear understanding of the Positive Behaviour Support Plan. The Clinician will also provide training that is relevant to the development of the person and/or support network of the person or identify an appropriate person to deliver the training with the oversight of the PBSP clinician.
