Our Behaviour Support Practitioners Embrace Dr. Ross Greene’s CPS Approach

April 7, 2025

At helpz, our behaviour support practitioners are increasingly adopting Dr. Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach to enhance the quality of life for NDIS clients. CPS is an evidence-based model that focuses on solving the underlying problems causing challenging behaviours rather than merely addressing the behaviours themselves.


The CPS approach aligns seamlessly with Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), a cornerstone of the NDIS framework.

PBS is a person-centred approach that aims to improve an individual's quality of life by understanding the reasons behind their behaviour and addressing their needs in a respectful and supportive manner.


By integrating CPS, helpz practitioners can proactively identify and solve problems collaboratively with clients, fostering a non-punitive and non-adversarial environment.


CPS involves three key steps: identifying lagging skills and unsolved problems, prioritising problems to be solved, and engaging in collaborative problem-solving discussions This method not only reduces challenging behaviours but also builds essential skills such as empathy, communication, and problem-solving.


For NDIS clients, this means a more tailored and effective support plan that respects their dignity and promotes their autonomy.


By utilising CPS within the PBS framework, helpz practitioners are better equipped to create positive, lasting changes in the lives of NDIS clients. This approach not only addresses immediate behavioural concerns but also empowers clients to develop the skills they need to thrive in their communities.

Gentle Boundaries for a Balanced December As we approach the year’s end, December invites a mix of celebration, reflection, and routines shifting out of their usual rhythm. For many caregivers and individuals with disabilities, this season can bring added sensory demands, social expectations, and emotional fatigue. Amidst the gatherings, gift-giving, and year-end deadlines, it’s important to remember that wellbeing is not a luxury - it’s the foundation that allows us to show up with patience, compassion, and presence. This month, we’re encouraging everyone to approach the holiday period with gentle boundaries, slower pacing, and intentional care. Whether you support someone with additional needs or you’re managing your own wellbeing on top of daily responsibilities, your energy matters. Saying no when needed isn’t a rejection - it’s actually a big yes to choosing balance, sustainability, and emotional safety.
