Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is the ground-breaking methodology that empowers individuals with challenging behaviours to thrive, grow, and unlock their full potential.
At its core, PBS embraces the belief that everyone deserves a life filled with happiness, dignity, and meaningful connections. It recognizes that challenging behaviours displayed by individuals with autism are often a form of communication, a way to express needs, or navigate an overwhelming world. With PBS, we shift our focus from managing or suppressing behaviours to understanding, teaching, and promoting positive alternatives.
Not only does PBS benefit the individual but it also profoundly impacts their families, caregivers, and support networks. By providing a framework that prioritizes collaboration, PBS ensures that everyone involved is equipped with the knowledge and tools to support individuals effectively. Families experience reduced stress, improved communication, and a shared sense of empowerment, creating a positive ripple effect throughout their daily lives.
