Functional Behaviour Assessment and the Positive Behaviour Support Capability Framework What capabilities are required?

Overview

The PBS Capability Framework has seven capability domains, or areas of practice, that reflect a set of core principles and values. Each capability domain is broken into three parts:

• 1. Practitioner knowledge
• 2. Practitioner skills
• 3. Service provider and implementing

provider considerations to ensure plans are effectively actioned.

Interim Response

Outcome:

Each participant with an immediate need for a behaviour support plan receives an interim behaviour support plan which minimises the risk to the participant and

• thers.

Legislative Framework

NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioners

• Evaluate the risks in collaboration with the

participant

• Collaborate with the participant, provider and

support network, including mainstream service providers (e.g., police, emergency services, mental health, medical practitioners,

• ther allied health clinicians)

Functional Behaviour Assessment

Outcome:

Each participant’s quality of life is maintained and improved by tailored, evidence-informed behaviour support plans that are responsive to their needs identified through assessment.

Legislative Framework

NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioners

• Collaborate with participant and support network
• Ensure the participant’s needs, support

requirements, preferences, strengths and goals are included in the assessment

• Consider previous behaviour support assessments

and other provider assessments

• Identify unmet needs, the function and/or

purpose of behaviours, and strategies to address behaviours

Core Level Practitioner Skills Proficient Level and Above Practitioner Skills

• Evaluate the risk posed by the behaviour of

concern to the person and others, interim response required?

• Ensure the participant is at the centre of the

assessment and establish support to keep them there

• Review relevant information and data
• Communicate with other providers involved
• Collaborate with the relevant stakeholders
• Establish a developmental history, including

history of trauma, sensory processing, social and interpersonal history

• Review and analyse any current or previous

interventions including reactive strategies and use of restrictive practices

• Consider physical or mental health problems

including the effect of medications and sleep

• Identify possible enablers and barriers to quality
• f life and future interventions

• 2. Conducting the assessment

• Develop rapport and consult with the person,

their family, carers, guardian or other relevant people

• Assess the person’s abilities and needs
• Use observation skills
• Use effective data collection systems
• Identify antecedents to behaviours of concern

and factors that support quality of life

• Identify consequences that maintain a behaviour
• Identify and describe the behaviour in a way that

is observable and measurable

• Conduct a comprehensive functional analyses of

behaviours of concern

• Lead an interdisciplinary assessment of complex

behaviour

• Assess and regularly review areas of risk to the

person or others

• 3. Documenting the assessment

– PBS Capability Framework

Core Level Practitioner Skills Proficient Level and Above Practitioner Skills

• Analyse the relationship between the person and

their environment

• Record and report data accurately
• Produce a behaviour assessment report
• Construct a model of understanding that

explains the functions of behaviours

• Produce an assessment report that includes

recommended actions and strategies
