NDIS Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) | Geelong & Surf Coast
At Gibelli Positive Pathways, we provide specialist Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) throughout Greater Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast. We are dedicated to supporting NDIS participants to live more independent, fulfilling lives by addressing the root causes of challenging behaviours through person-centred, evidence-based care.
Understanding the "Why" Behind Behaviour
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a proactive framework that views behavior as a form of communication. Our practitioners don't just "manage" symptoms; we seek to understand what an individual is trying to express. By conducting a Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA), we identify the environmental or social triggers and teach new, safer ways for the participant to get their needs met.
Our Geelong-based support is:
Evidence-Based: Using clinical data to ensure every strategy is effective and measurable.
Respect-Focused: We strictly follow NDIS guidelines to eliminate restrictive practices.
Skill-Oriented: We focus on teaching functional communication and emotional regulation.
Local & Responsive: As a mobile provider, we understand the specific needs of the Geelong community.
