What: Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an approach to helping people improve their difficult behavior that is based on four things:
1. An understanding that people do not control others, but seek to support others in their own behavior change process
2. A belief that there is a reason behind most difficult behavior, that people with difficult behavior should be treated with compassion and respect, and that they are entitled to lives of quality as well as effective services
3. The application of a large and growing body of knowledge about how to better understand people and make humane changes in their lives that can reduce the occurrence of difficult behavior
4. A conviction to continually move away from coercion, the use of unpleasant events, to manage behavior
Participants are required to present a brief case summary for discussion and are encouraged to remain for the duration of the learning group to participate in all of the case presentations. Cases may be presented orally, however short video presentations of 5-10 minutes, are preferred for the group to review. Each case will be allotted a one‑hour review. A signed student information release form from the parent/guardian for case presentation is required.
