ORS - Empowering Lives and Transforming Futures with Compassionate Care and Confidence.

What is Positive Behaviour Support

Our positive behaviour support services address behaviours of concern to improve a participant’s self-esteem, confidence, and self-efficacy to enable them to achieve their personal and life goals, improve their relationships, reduce behaviours negatively impacting on them and others, and enhance their overall quality of life.  

Our services involve a collaborative assessment with the participant, including family members and supports, development of a Positive Behaviour Support Plan, and relevant training to implement the recommended strategies to address the behaviours of concern.

We have extensive experience working with paediatric, adult and aged care participants, all types of disabilities and behaviour presentations, including those with restrictive practices. We also have experienced and bilingual positive behaviour support practitioners across multiple disciplines to assist with more complex presentations and situations including children in care, forensics, and severe and persistent mental illness.
