Positive Behaviour Support

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an approach that is used to support behaviour change in a child or adult with a learning disability.

PBS is based upon the principle that if you can teach someone a more effective and more acceptable behaviour than the challenging one, the challenging behaviour will reduce.

Identifying and Understanding Individual Needs

Exploring sensory, attention, avoidance and tangible needs, exploring ways to meet this need to reduce distress or behaviours that may challenge.
