The PBS Pathways Process for Positive Behaviour Support in Adelaide
We follow a clear, proven process to make sure every participant gets the right level of care.

Referral / Initial Consultation
We begin with a referral from the participant, family, or support coordinator to understand the presenting concerns.

Assessment & Information Gathering
Our team collects relevant background information, identifying patterns, triggers, and support needs.

Functional Behaviour Assessment
We look beyond the behaviour itself to understand the reasons driving it.

Behaviour Support Plan Development
We create a practical, easy-to-follow plan that guides support teams and improves outcomes.

Implementation, training & Ongoing Review
We support teams through implementation and regularly review progress to keep the plan effective.
This process ensures that every strategy we develop is grounded in a genuine understanding of the individual, not just a generic template.
