Positive Behaviour Support Plan

At Lizard, our approach involves a clinician working together with your child and their support network to understand why it is they engage in the behaviours of concern they are currently displaying.

Our clinician will then work with both your child and your family to design a positive behaviour support plan to help the child to learn different, more adaptive ways to achieve their needs.

This process will include discussions with the family and your child in which the clinician learns about your child’s growth and life experiences, strengths, preferences, and motivations in life. It will also include the clinician spending time with your child in their home or out in the community so they can get a better idea of exactly what their life is like, and where their struggles lie.

As a result of this learning process the clinician, in collaboration with your child and family, will put together a positive behaviour support plan that is individually tailored to the child’s needs and strengths. This positive behaviour support plan will include recommendations on adjustments to the child’s environment to reduce the likelihood they will feel the need to engage in behaviours of concern, and teaching strategies to help the participant learn alternative behaviours to achieve the same outcomes that motivate the behaviours of concern. It may also include relationship building strategies to help your child develop more healthy bonds to those in their support network.

The clinician will then spend time implementing and coaching your child and their support network (therapists, support workers, teachers, etc.) on implementation of the positive behaviour support plan. Over time the support plan may adjust as new things are learned, different needs arise, and your child finds the environment changing around them.
