Behaviour Support
What exactly is a disability behaviour support plan?
A disability behaviour support plan is a personalised document addressing the needs and challenges of individuals with disabilities, focusing on behaviour. It includes assessments, goals, evidence-based strategies, supports, and regular review. Collaboration among stakeholders ensures its effectiveness in promoting independence and well-being while addressing behavioural challenges positively.
Who needs a behaviour support plan?
A behaviour support plan may be beneficial for individuals with disabilities who exhibit challenging behaviours that interfere with their well-being, participation, or inclusion in various aspects of life. This includes individuals with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, neurological conditions, or other cognitive or behavioural challenges. The need for a behaviour support plan is typically determined through assessments conducted by professionals, in collaboration with the individual, their caregivers, and relevant stakeholders.
