PBS (Positive Behaviour Support)

PBS provides proactive strategies and systematic approaches to teach socially appropriate and practical skills, whilst simultaneously reducing the opportunities for problem behaviour to occur. This ultimately increases opportunities to communicate and builds tolerance and adaptability in an ever changing world.

PBS plans are broken down so that they are easy to navigate, ensuring you’re always well informed, so you’ll never be out of the loop.

PBS might be a good fit for you and your child if:

• You are looking for an individualised bespoke programme that is specifically for your child/young person and their needs.

• You want to be involved in regular goal setting and have consultants take into account personal goals and your family values.

• You are unsure of what that initial step is to receive the personalised help and support you and your family need.

• You want to be provided access to a communication platform for queries between workshops and visits.

So, you would like some Positive Behaviour Support tips?

Look no further, please see below for some easy PBS tips:
