For people on the NDIS, Positive Behaviour Support Plans and Restrictive Practices are a big topic within the fields of Support Work or Therapy such as Art Therapy or Equine Therapy.
You may have heard of them, and you may have found the terms confusing. We’ve set out to bring you up to speed.
Below is a video that covers the basics of this important topic, it’s only a few minutes long and is great starting point.
This video is part of a series we have created to offer easy-to-follow explanations for some of the terms you hear used in the disability field or related to the NDIS. Each video offers a good overview but is not intended to be comprehensive. If you want a simple understanding or to see if a topic something you need to be concerned about, than that’s great. If you need detailed advice, these videos will not do that for you, you may like to follow these links or search elsewhere for content.
