Your Behaviour Bestie Guide to Positive Change
First time visit
Understand behaviour, build helpful skills and create meaningful change with this practical, easy-to-follow digital guide from PBS With Portia.
Created by Behaviour Support Practitioner Portia-Jay Mifsud, this 14-page downloadable guide helps parents, carers, educators and support workers look beyond the behaviour and better understand what a person may be communicating.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn how to:
Identify possible needs behind behaviour
Use the ABC approach to recognise patterns and triggers
Support emotional and sensory regulation
Create proactive strategies that reduce distress
Teach safer and more effective replacement skills
Reinforce positive behaviour respectfully
Respond calmly during challenging moments
Develop an individual Positive Change Plan
Track progress and celebrate meaningful improvements
The guide also includes printable worksheets, an ABC behaviour-tracking table, a regulation menu, a weekly progress check-in and practical reflection activities.
Positive behaviour support is not about controlling a person it is about understanding their needs, supporting their wellbeing and helping them develop skills that create lasting change.
Suitable for: Parents, carers, educators, therapy assistants and disability support professionals
