Positive Behavioural
Support

Positive Behavioural Support
Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) represents a structure for supporting people with conditions that induce challenging behaviours, such as learning disabilities and autism.
Who is PBS for?
PBS is a framework for individuals and organisations who seek to
improve quality of life and behaviour; whether you're a parent, caregiver,
educator, or healthcare professional, PBS can provide the tools and strategies
you need to create positive and supportive environments.
What is good about it?
PBS empowers individuals to develop positive social skills, self-regulation, and
independence. It fosters strong relationships between individuals and their
caregivers, and community members to collectively reduce stress and anxiety,
creating more peaceful and harmonious environments. This approach can be implemented throughout organisations to enhance workplace
culture, increase productivity, and improve employee morale; by promoting positive
behaviours and addressing conflicts effectively, PBS can create a more positive and
supportive work atmosphere.
How do we know it works?
In addition to decades of research and practical application, measuring the success of PBS can be inferred from an increase of positive behaviours, improved quality of life, enhanced learning and development.
Why PBS is a Helpful Approach?
PBS focuses on understanding the underlying causes of challenging behaviours to facilitate the development of tailored support plans that cater to each individual.
