In this video Laura talks about what a behaviour support plan is.
You might have a Behaviour Support Plan if people have trouble knowing what you want and need.
This might happen when
- You feel sad or sick
- You want or need something
- You do not have the right support
- You have problems with your NDIS plan
Sometimes Behaviour Support Plans are called Positive Behaviour Support Plans.
Your Behaviour Support Plan will help your support people to understand you and support you better.
We sometimes say supporters when we talk about support people.
You might have a restrictive practice in your plan.
A restrictive practice takes away your right to move freely.
Restrictive practices are used when you or others are not safe.
This can happen if you might
- Hurt yourself
- Hurt other people
- Break things when you are angry
- Run away
Restrictive practices are only used when nothing else helps you and others stay safe
Restrictive practices must not be forever.
They must stop when your support people understand what you need to stay safe.
