Behaviour Support Plans

At Brightwater, our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plans are shaped around each person’s individual story. We take the time to understand what matters to them, how they experience the world and what might be behind their behaviours of concern.

As an experienced NDIS provider, our behaviour support practitioners:

  • Use proven, evidence-based, person-centred strategies
  • Start with a full behaviour assessment to understand the 'why'
  • Develop plans that are practical, respectful and effective
  • Take a holistic view of the person, their supports and environment
  • Focus on building capacity, meaningful relationships and lasting change
  • Work closely with families, carers and support networks
  • Support skill-building, confidence and independence.
