Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach used to promote and enhance positive behaviour. It focuses on:
- understanding the underlying causes of behaviours of concern
- implementing strategies that foster positive change.
PERSON-CENTRED APPROACH
At TMB, we employ a person-centered approach to positive behaviour support. Every individual is unique and requires tailored support. Through careful observation and assessment, we identify the factors contributing to behaviours of concern, such as environmental influences, communication skills, social interactions, and overall physical and mental health.
BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT PLANS
We develop comprehensive behaviour support plans that emphasize proactive strategies. These plans involve creating a structured and consistent environment, setting clear expectations, and teaching alternative skills to replace problem behaviours.
COLLABORATION
Collaboration with families, caregivers, educators, and other professionals is vital in implementing positive behavior support effectively. We work closely with clients, families and their support networks to ensure consistency and promote a unified approach. By providing training, consultation, and ongoing support, we empower individuals and their support networks to implement positive behaviour support strategies effectively.
Positive behaviour support goes beyond managing behaviours of concern; it aims to enhance the overall quality of life. It is a holistic approach that considers the individual’s strengths, interests, and aspirations while addressing their unique challenges.
