Interviews with the participant and their support network
Conversations with parents, carers, support workers, teachers, Support Coordinators and allied health to gather context.
Every Positive Behaviour Support Plan starts with a question: what is this behaviour trying to communicate? A Functional Behaviour Assessment (FBA) is how EVSS practitioners answer it — with structured observation, interviews and data, in the real environments where the behaviour actually happens.
A Functional Behaviour Assessment is a structured, evidence-based process that identifies the function a behaviour serves for a participant — whether that's escape, attention, sensory, access to a tangible item, or communication of an unmet need.
For NDIS participants experiencing behaviours of concern, an FBA is the foundation of every Comprehensive Positive Behaviour Support Plan. Without understanding the function, strategies will only ever treat the symptom — not the cause.
EVSS practitioners conduct FBAs in the participant's real environments — at home, in the classroom, in SIL accommodation, or wherever the behaviour shows up. That's the only way to capture accurate antecedents, behaviours and consequences (ABC data).
