Understanding Behaviour. Supporting Meaningful Change.
Every behaviour has a story.
At Profiles WA, we believe meaningful behaviour support begins with understanding the person behind the behaviour — their experiences, environment, communication, strengths, and needs.
Our Positive Behaviour Support approach focuses on compassion, respect, and evidence-based strategies that improve quality of life, independence, and meaningful participation.
🌱 Understanding the Roots of Behaviour
Behaviour is often a way of communicating.
Before developing strategies or support plans, we take time to understand what influences each person’s behaviour and experiences.
We explore:
- Individual strengths and abilities
- Communication needs
- Life experiences
- Environmental factors
- Relationships and support systems
- Personal goals and preferences
Understanding the roots helps create support that is respectful, practical, and effective
🌳 Functional Behaviour Assessments
Looking Deeper to Understand Needs
Profiles WA provides Functional Behaviour Assessments to understand why behaviours occur and identify meaningful ways to support positive change.
Our assessments consider:
- The person’s environment
- Communication and emotional needs
- Triggers and contributing factors
- Current supports and challenges
- Opportunities for skill development
