What We Offer
Building Blocks offers a variety of in-person and online support to learners and their caregivers related to behaviour. We use a variety of evidence-based, person-centred approaches to create individualised plans to empower learners and their caregivers. We currently provide individualised behavioural support to learners aged 2-18 in the North East of England and remote consultation services to caregivers across the UK.
We equip our learners with the tools to communicate their needs, assert their boundaries, and understand the world around them, ensuring they are active participants in their own lives. By focusing on each learner's strengths, we don't just address challenges—we leverage existing abilities to build a foundation for lasting success and self-efficacy.
Our Services
Positive Behavioural Support (PBS)
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centered approach focused on understanding why specific behaviours are occurring. The aim is to equip learners and their caregivers with the necessary skills to effectively self-advocate.
PBS services are comprehensive and include an initial assessment, collaborative goal setting, and continuous goal tracking. Services are typically conducted across various settings, including the home and school.
Each learner receives a bespoke program, developed by a Behaviour Analyst (UKBA (cert), M.S., BCBA), with specific goals to be achieved over the plan period. The most effective PBS model is holistic, involving a multi-professional team that may include caregivers, school personnel, and other specialists.
