Top 5 Most Asked Questions About Liberty Behavioural Services
At Liberty Behavioural Services (Liberty), we understand that finding the right behavioural support for a loved one with disabilities can feel overwhelming. Potential clients often have many questions about how our services work and how we can help their family members lead more fulfilling lives. To ease your curiosities and provide clarity, we’ve compiled the top five most frequently asked questions about Liberty and our services.
FAQ 1: What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and How Does it Help?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of risk of harm behaviours. Unlike traditional methods that aim to control behaviours, PBS works to meet unmet needs, helping individuals express themselves in healthier ways. At Liberty, we use PBS to create tailored strategies for each participant, allowing them to communicate more effectively, manage emotions, and engage meaningfully in their daily lives.
PBS helps participants thrive by:
Reducing challenging behaviours.
Enhancing communication abilities.
Providing structured support that promotes independence. By focusing on each individual’s unique needs, PBS empowers participants to live more confidently and peacefully.
FAQ 2: What Types of Behaviours Do You Address?
Liberty specialises in addressing a wide range of behaviours, particularly those that interfere with daily life or cause distress. The types of behaviours we focus on include:
Physical behaviours: such as self-harm or aggression toward others.
Verbal behaviours: including verbal outbursts or communication challenges.
Property damage: where behaviours lead to unsafe actions involving the environment.
Our approach aims to create a calmer, safer environment for participants and their families. By developing personalised PBS strategies, we work toward outcomes that bring relief, peace, and a higher quality of life for everyone involved.
FAQ 3: How Does Liberty Work with Support Coordinators?
Liberty understands the importance of collaboration, especially with NDIS support coordinators. Support coordinators play a crucial role in connecting participants with the right services. We work closely with them to:
Assess the participant's specific needs.
Develop and implement effective, person-centred behaviour support plans.
Adjust strategies over time to ensure ongoing success and improvement.
By maintaining open communication and working together, we ensure that participants receive the most comprehensive and effective support possible.
