Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred, evidenced-informed approach that aims to increase the quality of life and reduce and preferably eliminate restrictive practices for people with disabilities.
All behaviour is communication and when behaviours of concern occur, a person is trying to communicate an unmet need by the only means available to them at that time.
Watch the short video opposite to learn more about PBS (courtesy of National Disability Services https://www.nds.org.au/ )
Autism Abilities has a team of experienced PBS Practitioners who specialise in working with autistic people who can assist you and your autistic family member.

Autism Abilities acknowledges that people use different words to talk about Autism and that each person will have a way of talking about Autism and about themselves that they like best. Some people in the Autistic Community like to say ‘Autistic person’ (identity-first language), some like to say ‘person with Autism’ (person-first language), and some are fine with using either.
Autism Abilities uses identity-first language. This means we will usually say, 'autistic person' or 'autistic people', but please let us know if you would prefer us to use person-first language.
