PFA-SBT Consultation Service for Schools

Complex behaviour in school is not inevitable. With this specialist consultation service for schools, it really is possible to significantly reduce and often eliminate complex and unsafe behaviours.

Using a groundbreaking approach known as PFA-SBT, we will work in your school alongside designated school support staff to address immediate behaviours of concern and enable students to better participate in learning, by fostering safety and well-being.

What is PFA-SBT?

Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment (PFA-SBT) is an innovative, evidence-based and compassionate approach to complex behaviour.

The initial focus is on creating a calm and happy environment for the student. Once this is achieved, attention shifts to teaching positive skills that enhance the student’s safety, engagement and participation. Implemented in schools around the world, PFA-SBT has shown to be effective even in the most difficult circumstances.

The PFA SBT Process

How is our PFA-SBT Consultation Service different from what you’ve tried before?

We will be there with you throughout the journey – Our experienced behaviour specialists will work directly with the student and designated support team, providing practical on-the-ground support.

Teachers can be teachers! By reducing the support needs of the individual student, teachers have more time to focus on the whole class and delivering the curriculum.

The outcomes are significant & evidence-based. The research shows how effective and efficient this process is. We’d be delighted to share our very positive experience with you.

Help build your capacity. We will provide staff modelling and practical coaching to build the designated team’s skill base.

Safety is paramount– a crucial component throughout every stage.

We operate from a place of joy.  Our approach is positive, not punitive.

Compassionate and trauma assumed. Safety, choice, empowerment and trust are at the forefront, resulting in positive relationships between staff and students.
