What is positive behaviour support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred approach that starts by understanding what is driving behaviours of concern, then develops strategies to help people reduce their triggers and techniques to help them de-escalate. PBS looks at the whole picture: a person's environment, relationships, communication and daily routines.
At Concentric, our PBS clinicians work alongside participants, families and support teams to create plans that make sense in everyday life. Each clinician is part of a wider allied health team spanning occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology and physiotherapy, so your PBS plan can collaborate with other therapists for multidisciplinary support when needed.
Person-centred behaviour support for children and adults across Perth. Immediate support available. Registered NDIS provider.

- Behaviour plans that are difficult to implement. We support you to tailor them to your environment and the individual, to ensure consistent implementation is as attainable as possible.
- Communication gaps that create extra work for coordinators and families
- Uncertainty about how PBS fits with a participant's goals and daily routines

Who does positive behaviour support help?
PBS is for people of all ages who may benefit from structured support to address unmet needs. Every person's situation is different, and a good PBS plan starts by understanding what matters to the participant and the people around them.
At Concentric, we work with:
Children and young people with autism
Children and adults with ADHD
People with intellectual disability
People with developmental delay
People with psychosocial disability
People with acquired brain injuries
Participants whose current support arrangements need review
We support NDIS participants and their families, carers and support teams across Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
How does a behaviour support plan work?
A behaviour support plan (BSP) is a written document that sets out strategies to support a person and reduce behaviours of concern. It is developed through a structured process and funded under a participant's NDIS plan.
At Concentric, our process has four steps:
- Assessment: getting to know the person, their environment and what is driving behaviours
- Plan development: writing a BSP with strategies that make sense at home, at school and in the community
- Implementation: helping families, carers and support workers put the plan into action
- Review: checking in on progress, adjusting strategies and updating the plan as things change
We develop new behaviour support plans and review existing ones. If a participant already has a BSP that needs updating, our clinicians can look at what is working, what is not, and recommend changes.
