This poster provides a visual discription of how the Fabic Behaviour/Anxiety Scale can practically be applied to ones day to day life.

The key purpose of the Fabic Behaviour/Anxiety Scale is to bring understanding to a person’s unwanted behaviours.

This scale offers a visual means of communication that is accessible to everyone across all settings. This cohesive approach brings a simple and concrete terminology to describe the first two steps of the Body Life Skills program:

a) Body: what behaviours, words, thoughts or feelings the body expresses at code blue, green, yellow, orange or red.

b) Life: The parts of life the body responds (code blue) or reacts (code green, yellow, orange, red) to.

Using the Fabic Behaviour Scale effectively provides three tools.

1. A form of communication
   As a form of communication the behaviour scale has three key purposes:
   1. Multiple people bring the same understanding to one person
   2. One person brings understanding to other people around them
   3. Self-awareness and self-monitoring
2. An assessment tool
   As an assessment tool the behaviour scale is used to identify the parts of life each person is responding or reacting to. When asked ‘what colour did you go to when?’ allows a person to answer with code blue, green, yellow, orange or red. Thus, any response that is not code blue tells us there is a possible learning opportunity.
3. An indicator of when to implement behaviour change interventions
   When individualised in this way, the scale provides a means of identifying when to implement healing and skills building strategies – no later than code yellow.
