Corewell services
Supporting children and adults across Sydney and Australia through person-centred, evidence-based behaviour support that improves quality of life.
Overview
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach that seeks to understand why behaviours occur and develop practical strategies that improve quality of life. Rather than focusing on the behaviour itself, PBS looks at communication, environments, routines, health, relationships and skill development to create meaningful, lasting change.
Who can benefit
How we can help
Process
A functional behaviour assessment helps identify what a behaviour may be communicating, what keeps it happening, and what practical changes can support safer, calmer routines.
Plans are written to be practical for everyday environments, with strategies that can be understood and used by participants, families and support teams.
Corewell believes restrictive practices should only ever be used as a last resort. Our clinicians work closely with participants, families and support teams to reduce and eliminate restrictive practices wherever possible in accordance with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements.
Working together
Corewell works with the people and services around the participant so support feels clear, coordinated and easier to follow.
