Positive Behavior Support

“Positive Behavior Support is a set of processes that combine information from social, behavioral, and biomedical science and applies this information at the individual or systems level to reduce behavioral challenges and improve quality of life. Both systems-wide and individualized interventions used in PBS are empirically documented and can be used by a wide range of support providers” (apbs.org). The techniques learned will allow the Direct Support Professional (DSP) to apply Positive Behavior Support theory and techniques in a practical and effective way.
