A new evidence-informed resource is helping behaviour support practitioners strengthen the quality of behaviour support plans.
The Positive Behaviour Support Plan Quality Assessment (PBSP-QA) tool provides a practical framework for reviewing and improving behaviour support plans.
Developed through research, testing and consultation, it incorporates insights from people with lived experience of positive behaviour support and disability support workers.
The NDIS Commission will use the tool to support the reduction and elimination of restrictive practices.
The PBSP-QA was developed by The University of Queensland researchers Professor Karen Nankervis and Dr Maria Vassos, with support from our Enabling Practitioner’s Grant. It was further refined through testing and refinement undertaken with the Commission’s Practice Quality team.
