From Chaos to Calm: Creating Predictable PBS Environments
Behaviour often responds to the environment — and the less predictable it is, the harder things get. In Positive Behaviour Support, predictability is one of the most effective tools for reducing distress and creating calm.
🧭 Predictability Isn’t Boring — It’s Safe
People may be dealing with sensory sensitivity, trauma, or cognitive differences that make unexpected changes feel threatening. By building predictability into the environment, you’re saying: “You’re safe here.”
- Consistent routines for meals, medication, and support
- Visual cues and signage to reduce uncertainty
- Staff who communicate clearly and calmly
💬 How to Describe It in Tenders
Use phrases like “environmental consistency,” “visual structure,” and “low-arousal space.” But back them up with examples: What’s on the walls? How is noise managed? What do people say about the space?
