What Is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?
Positive Behaviour Support is about understanding the why behind a person's behaviour, rather than simply focusing on changing what we see.
PBS is an evidence-based, person-centred approach that helps us understand a person's needs and find positive ways to support them. This may include teaching new skills, adapting environments, and helping support teams respond in ways that work for the individual.
At its heart, PBS is about improving quality of life, promoting independence, and respecting every person's dignity, rights, and choices.
