Behaviour Support
What is Behaviour Support?
Behaviour Support is a person-centred and evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding and responding to behaviours of concern. At Spear & Arrow, we believe all behaviour communicates something — our role is to uncover what that is.
Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) services help individuals with disability to develop skills, build independence, and experience a higher quality of life. Using respectful, non-restrictive strategies, our practitioners aim to reduce or eliminate behaviours of concern while supporting the person and their environment to thrive.
Behaviour Practitioners at Spear & Arrow
Our Behaviour Practitioners are qualified, compassionate, and committed to walking alongside you on your journey. We work closely with participants, families, and support teams to understand unique needs and strengths.
Each practitioner:
- Conducts detailed functional behaviour assessments
- Designs individualised, strengths-based behaviour support plans
- Collaborates with other professionals (OTs, support coordinators, etc.)
- Provides practical coaching and strategies to build new skills
Supports the reduction of restrictive practices where safe and appropriate
We ensure each plan is achievable, responsive, and tailored to the person’s NDIS goals and daily life.
How Will This Help?
Behaviour support can:
- Improve communication and social interactions
- Reduce stress, anxiety, and frustration
- Create safer, more supportive home and community environments
- Promote independence and goal achievement
- Strengthen relationships with family, carers, and peers
Our approach is long-term, collaborative, and driven by continuous review. With the right support, we believe every person has the capacity to flourish.
