Implementing Positive Behaviour Management

Empress provides specialised therapeutic services for people with behaviours of concern (also known as challenging behaviour).

We’ll get to know you and your support network; our approach will depend on your unique needs. We are in the process of becoming an NDIS provider.

You can access our Positive Behaviour Support Service for specialist behavioural intervention support under the NDIS Support Item: Improved Relationships.

Often it will involve a mix of:

• Understanding you and your environment
• Understanding the behaviour and the triggers
• Identifying helpful, alternative ways to meet the same needs
• Identifying what to do to prevent the behaviour and what might help when the behaviour occurs
• Reducing the use of restrictive interventions
• Anticipating what may go wrong
• Working together on strategies
• Involving family and carers
• Working with your other therapists
