What is Positive Behavioral Support?
|
- A set of strategies that help support individual choices and maximize a person's strengths and abilities
- Strategies that seek to uncover the reason or reasons behind most difficult behavior
- Strategies that support the person in changing behavior, primarily in working to encourage more positive behavior,
rather than attempting to exert control over the person
- Working from a belief that behavioral challenges should be treated with compassion and respect
- Working from a belief that a meaningful daily life positively influences behavior
|

Supporting positive behaviors also involves understanding the following about the individual:
|
- Likes and dislikes
- Motivations
- Biomedical/Physical factors (e.g., illness, pain, gastrointestinal problems, oversensitivity to certain stimuli,
medication reactions, nutrition, sleep patterns, etc.)
- Learning style
- How the environment affects the individual
|

|
We strive to set up and promote:
|
- Positive caregiver-client relationships
- Exposure to options and opportunities to exercise choices
- Exposure to appropriate role models and good examples of appropriate social behavior
- Helpful routines
- Realistic expectations
