Positive Behaviour Support
PBS
We know that all behaviours happen for a reason. Our job is to figure out what that function is and help people replace any negative behaviours with ones that serve the same purpose.
We know that you’re more than just a list of support needs or disabilities. That’s why we take a personalised approach to support that’s all about who you are as a person.
Our goal is to help you gain more control and choice in your life.
The acronym SEAT is used when we speak about functions of behaviour.
Sometimes behaviours can have more than one function, however, the vast majority of our behaviours will have one dominant function.
Sensory
Either the behaviour feels nice to the person in some way, or they aid in reducing pain for the person
Escape
The behaviour either helps the person physically escape or avoid the situation, or mentally avoid the situation
Attention
The behaviour gets us the attention we want/need in some way
Tangible
The person gets access to preferred items, people, events or activities – ie. something tangible
