Great BSPs talk about triggers—the immediate thing that sets off a behaviour. But what if the real cause started hours, days, or even weeks earlier?

Support teams don’t always see restrictions because they’ve become part of the routine. these 3 questions can help.

Behaviour support isn’t about eliminating behaviour—it’s about understanding what’s driving it.

When we support the whole person, we stop trying to fix behaviour and start building safety, dignity, and trust.

What looks like manipulation is often a learned survival strategy.

Why are most of our notes and progress reports filled with “incidents” and “risks of harm”, but hardly anything about joy?

Play is where skill-building becomes natural, safe, and fun.

Before we can meaningfully support someone, we need to know them—beyond their diagnosis, beyond their risks of harm, beyond their funding.

If a plan isn’t working, that doesn’t mean the team is failing. It means it’s time to regroup, reflect, tweak, and listen again.

The polyvagal theory completely changed the way I understand behaviour.

You’ll learn more from one honest conversation with a participant than ten hours of uni content.

Too often in behaviour support, we use language that frames the person as the problem rather than looking at their needs, autonomy, and communication.

One of the most powerful tools I use in Positive Behaviour Support isn’t found in a workbook or behaviour chart.

When we get too clinical, we lose something vital: humanity.
