What is Behaviour Support?

Behaviour Support refers to the strategies and interventions used to help individuals, often those with disabilities or behavioral challenges, improve their quality of life by reducing problematic behaviors and encouraging positive ones. Behaviour Support professionals work collaboratively with clients, families, and other support staff to create tailored behavior support plans. These plans are based on thorough assessments and aim to identify the underlying causes of challenging behaviors, promoting skill development and safer, more inclusive environments.
