ABSTRACT
Positive behaviour support, which includes the development of a positive behaviour support plan (PBSP), is an effective intervention approach for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who exhibit challenging behaviour. This study sought the perspectives of frontline disability support workers (DSWs) about what constitutes quality PBSPs. Thirty-nine DSWs participated in six focus groups, where they ranked and discussed the important characteristics of good quality PBSPs. The need for PBSPs to be easy to read was ranked as the most important PBSP quality indicator. The DSWs emphasised the relationship between PBSP implementation and the accessibility and practicality of the PBSP and wanting greater involvement in PBSP development and implementation processes. Given that DSWs are one of the stakeholders most likely to be implementing PBSPs to facilitate positive behaviour change, contemporary understanding of PBSP quality needs to include aspects such as accessibility and practicality as quality markers.
