Decoding Behaviour Support: A Deep Dive into Key Concepts, Best Practice, and Implementation
Behaviour support is a crucial part of the NDIS, aimed at improving quality of life for NDIS participants. But what exactly does it entail? This article unpacks the key concepts, processes, and goals of behaviour support, offering insights for individuals, families, support workers, and NDIS providers.
Understanding the Basics
At its core, behaviour support seeks to understand why certain behaviours occur. This involves:
Identifying Behaviours of Concern: Not all behaviours require intervention. A "behaviour of concern" is typically one that poses a risk to the individual or those around them. This can include, but is not limited to, property damage, aggression (verbal or physical), unsafe eating habits, or other actions that compromise safety and well-being.
Determining the Function of Behaviour: Every behaviour serves a purpose. Is it a way to gain attention, escape an unpleasant situation, obtain a desired object, or fulfil a sensory need? Understanding the underlying function is crucial for developing effective support strategies.
