22 Positive behaviour support: Getting it right from the start - Facilitators reference manual Yes No Sometimes 15. Do you stick up for the person even when it creates a level of discomfort and anxiety for you? 16. Do you thoughtfully challenge people, including your workmates, when they display disrespect towards the person? 17. Do you create opportunities during the day to interact with the person? 18. Do you show patience with the person? 19. Do you spend time trying to find out what the person is good at and likes doing? 20. Do you put personal effort into learning alternative communication methods like manual signing so you can communicate with the person in a way that is meaningful? 21. If you work with the a person who has high support needs, do you make efforts to help the person feel comfortable (for example, changing them if they have been incontinent, making sure their clothes fit properly, shooing flies way from their face or applying repellent)? Reflecting on your attitudes Spend some time reflecting on your own attitudes and beliefs. If there are some attitudes and beliefs you have identified which may be impeding your relationship with the residents, spend some time thinking about how you can alter these. You may like to write some personal goals for yourself! After completing these questions, you may have discovered that there are some attitudes you have, that you may like to change. PowerPoint TIPS for changing attitudes 34* Consciously try to change the things you say to yourself by: • regularly focussing on the thoughts and beliefs that are going through your head • having an internal debate about these beliefs by asking yourself questions like: - Is it helpful to the person for me to think that? - What evidence do I have for thinking this? - Is this a belief I want to continue to hold and rule how I act? Substituting other more positive thoughts and beliefs and rehearsing these like: Adam is a feeling human being, just like me, and deserves the time and patience I would expect when I’m going through a rough patch. Sue has every right to want to be treated like an individual. Rex is a person just like the people I meet in the street. It just happens to be the case that he also has a disability.
Positive behaviour support: Getting it right from the start - Facilitators reference manual 23 Before and while doing the things you habitually do at work, ask yourself whether this is how you would act if you held positive beliefs and values about people with a disability. If you find it is not, then try changing the way you act in accordance with more positive attitudes. At first this may seem out of character for you and unnatural, but with a commitment to doing this, with time it will become part of your natural style and your attitudes will change too. For further ideas on reflective practices try googling the key terms: • reflective practices • reflective learning • plan, act, reflect, do
