Assessment
Services

What This Service Offers

The reason for doing a ‘positive behaviour support’ (PBS) assessment is to help us really understand who a person is so that we can work out why they are doing the things they do, and how we can best support them to achieve a good quality of life. A range of assessments may be conducted to assist in the following:

  • Detailed understanding of the individual’s background including relevant history, diagnosis and implications, health, current situation and skills/interests.
  • Clear explanation on the meaning of the person’s behaviour and the things which make the behaviour more or less likely to occur.
  • Suggestions for steps the team can take to improve quality of life for the individual, including strategies that lead to positive engagement and reduce behaviours that are concerning.
  • A general understanding of PBS and why we use this approach.
  • Where applicable, identification of behaviour support legislative requirements and ways to meet these obligations.
