Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
We deliver Positive Behaviour Support that puts People First
At Kennix Care Behavioural Services, we deliver Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) that is respectful, practical, and centred on the individual. PBS is a proven, evidence-based approach that looks beyond behaviours of concern to understand their underlying causes.
Instead of simply trying to control behaviour, we focus on reducing distress, building positive skills, and improving overall quality of life for NDIS participants and their support networks.
All Ages Supported
Supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults across home, school, and community settings.
Collaborative Teamwork
Working alongside families, carers, educators, support workers, and allied health professionals.
Structured, evidence-based behaviour support
Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA)
Identify and understand the root function of behaviours of concern through observations, data collection, and clinical analysis.
Interim Behaviour Support Plans (IBSP)
Immediate strategies to support safety and stability, including restrictive practice recommendations where required.
Comprehensive PBS Plans (CBSP)
Detailed, long-term plans built around individual goals, strengths, and environment for sustainable positive outcomes.
Implementation & Caregiver Training
Hands-on training for support teams, families, and educators to ensure strategies are applied consistently in real-life settings.
Proactive & Reactive Strategies
Prevent distress through environmental adjustments and routines, while using safe, low-arousal de-escalation responses during incidents.
