How Positive Behaviour Support works
Positive Behaviour Support is an evidence-based and multi-step approach. At Melior, we ensure that we’re meeting the unique needs of every individual through these steps. This is an overview of how positive behaviour support works.
- Assessment and understanding
Our PBS practitioners begin with develop rapport with the individual, learning about the individual and their environment, and creating a Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) and Comprehensive PBS Plan. This process identifies the motivations and environmental factors influencing behavior, helping us design effective strategies. - Implementing strategies and skill development
Once the PBS Plan is in place, our team collaborates with the individual, and their support network to implement the strategies. This may include skill-building exercises, positive reinforcement techniques, and environmental modifications. - Monitoring, support, and adaptation
Positive Behaviour Support is an ongoing process. At Melior, we regularly review and adapt the PBS Plan to ensure its continued effectiveness, making adjustments as necessary to align with changing needs and goals.

Benefits of Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour Support offers many long-lasting benefits, not only for the individual but also for their families, support network, and communities:
Improved quality of life: By empowering individuals to learn new skills and build independence, PBS enhances quality of life, fostering self-confidence and well-being.
Reduction of behaviours of concern: PBS promotes a respectful, proactive approach to addressing behaviours of concern, resulting in more effective and sustainable outcomes.
Increased inclusion and social connection: Positive behaviour support encourages positive social interactions, helping individuals feel more connected and included in their communities.
Empowered families and support networks: Families and support networks benefit from the guidance and training provided through PBS, allowing them to support the individual in a meaningful, consistent way.
What is involved in Positive Behaviour Support?
Our PBS Practitioners will work closely with you and the people around you to create a Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) and Comprehensive PBS Plan.
PBS Plans are collaborative and written with the individual and those who support the individual, aiming to meet their needs and create positive changes.
These plans can aim to address any behaviours of concern, and equip the individual and their support network with new skills and approaches to respond differently.
Ultimately, these plans are designed to enhance your quality of life.
