Positive Behavior Supports PBS PBIS: Challenging behaviors in the classroom

Описание: DDSLearning (use Chrome) is a free learning resource. DDS supports individuals who have developmental disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Acquired Brain Injury, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Smith-Magenis Syndrome, Intellectual Disabilities or Developmental Disabilities and others.

Our goal is to build a central, accessible, and useful tool that can assist people to locate and participate in learning opportunities throughout the Commonwealth.

Positive Behavior Supports or PBS is not simply offering positive reinforcement to someone or being friendly and positive to and with him or her. While these are important ways to interact and communicate with people, the essence of PBS is to engineer environments that support happy, healthy lives and to offer proactive interventions that reduce and eliminate circumstances that do not contribute to a person’s well-being. By doing so, we change behavior.

This is done by determining, with the person, what is important to them and by “listening” in new ways to their behavior. Behavior is communicative and, where we can, we must determine what the person is saying and create environments that assist the person in being successful.
