Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner (Support Coordinators)

If you are a support coordinator, you already understand how complex a person’s support system can be across family homes, shared living, school, work, providers and community settings. You work across families, providers, plans, risk, goals and changing circumstances. You may have seen the difference quality behaviour support can make when everyone around a person is working from the same understanding.

You already know the difference it makes when everyone around a person works from the same understanding, and what happens when they don't. Positive Behaviour Support is the work of creating that shared understanding. Coordination puts you next to the plan. PBS puts you at the heart of it.

PBS starts from something you already know: behaviour is communication. When someone does not have the words, skills or tools to say what they need, the need shows up another way. PBS is the work of understanding why, changing what is around the person rather than the person, and teaching the skills that meet that need another way.

It is a discipline, not a knack: backed by international research and practised in group homes, schools, workplaces, family homes and the community.
