This study sought to elucidate the extent to which behaviour support plans for people with intellectual disability are inclusive of best practice criteria, with a comparison made prior to and following proclamation of the Disability Act (2006) in Victoria, Australia.
This study used a data collection instrument developed by the researchers incorporating best practice criteria as identified in the review of literature and Victorian legislative requirements. The instrument was used to assess a sample of behaviour support plans.
Best practice criteria are inadequately included in behaviour support plans with little difference between pre- and post-Act plans.
The results of this study indicate that disability support staff are ill equipped to undertake the complex assessments, planning, and implementation associated with behaviour support strategies, despite the legislative framework that guides and directs this intervention.
本研究旨在阐明针对智障人士的行为支持计划在多大程度上符合最佳实践标准，并对澳大利亚维多利亚州《残疾法案》（2006年）颁布前后的情况进行比较。
本研究使用了研究人员开发的数据收集工具，该工具纳入了文献综述中确定的最佳实践标准以及维多利亚州的立法要求。该工具用于评估一系列行为支持计划。
行为支持计划对最佳实践标准的纳入不足，法案颁布前后的计划之间差异不大。
本研究结果表明，尽管有指导和规范这种干预措施的立法框架，但残疾支持人员仍缺乏开展与行为支持策略相关的复杂评估、规划和实施工作的能力。
