At Buddy’s Way we understand that every behaviour serves a purpose. We utilise the principles of applied behaviour analysis to underpin behaviour support intervention for individuals who engage in challenging behaviour to get their needs met. We do this by understanding the purpose of challenging behaviour and identifying alternative skills to teach, in line with the person’s values.

Our practitioners use evidence-based approaches to develop tailored behaviour support plans, that include positive, proactive strategies, to reduce engagement in challenging behaviours of concern, and safe response strategies to implement while the person learns new skills to get their needs met. Additionally, our practitioners work towards identifying any barriers or restrictions in the person’s life, and work towards their safe reduction and elimination over time, upholding the person’s rights while assisting them.
