Positive Behaviour Support in the Classroom - Medicine

Positive Behaviour Support in the Classroom
thumb

Overview

The most frequent complaint of most parents of children on the autism spectrum is that other people don’t understand why their children do what they do. The glares in the supermarket, the mumbled comments about poor parenting or the child needing a good smack show that other people often don’t understand why challenging behaviour happens and what to do about it.


Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is based in the science of learning and there is strong evidence for PBS as an effective approach for changing behaviour. PBS is both positive and proactive. Positive means increasing and strengthening helpful behaviours through ‘reinforcement’ (not using punishment or negative consequences to reduce the challenge). Proactive means anticipating where things may go wrong and preventing that from happening rather than just reacting when things go wrong.
