Positive behaviour support in Australian disability policy
Positive behavior support is a crucial aspect of disability policy in Australia, both at the state and federal level. With the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), positive behavior support has become even more important in safeguarding the rights of people with disabilities. However, the representation of positive behavior support in Australian policy can have significant implications, particularly in relation to restrictive practices.
A recent review of Australian state positive behavior support policies was extended to include an analysis of the NDIS quality and safeguarding framework. The concept of policy diffusion was used to demonstrate the potential risks associated with the representation of positive behavior support in current Australian disability policy.
