Positive Behavior Support, Part 1: an Introduction
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) - the Basics (Behavior Series Part 1)
Over the past three decades Positive Behavior Support (PBS) has become the gold standard for school-based behavior prevention and intervention.
It is based on the ethical and moral recognition that aversive responses to problematic behaviors are no longer viable.
PBS emphasizes and reinforces behaviors that are pro-social and does it in a way that recognizes the need to teach, not punish.
The host of this program was deeply involved in the implementation and expansion of PBS programs in the school districts he served throughout his professional career. He continues to place an emphasis of the importance of PBS in trainings for parents.
