Look Closer: The Hidden Causes of Behaviour in PBS
In PBS, we’re not trying to manage behaviour — we’re trying to understand what’s causing it. That starts with looking at the bigger picture: the environment, routines, relationships, and communication needs.
🔍 Look Beyond the Behaviour
Behaviour is rarely random. It’s often a response to:
- Unmet needs or sensory distress
- Confusing or overwhelming environments
- Lack of control or choice in daily routines
If we respond only to the behaviour, we miss the opportunity to address the cause.
🧩 Use the ABC Framework
Train your team to identify:
- Antecedents — what happened before?
- Behaviour — what exactly occurred?
- Consequences — what was the result?
This approach helps staff become detectives, not disciplinarians — and makes support more proactive.
📄 In Tender Responses
Commissioners want to see:
- How your team investigates behavioural patterns
- How you reduce triggers through person-centred planning
- Real examples of reducing incidents by changing support
This shows you’re not just reacting — you’re learning and improving support continuously.
