Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support for Care Professionals

Understanding Challenging Behaviours
Care professionals need to understand the underlying causes of challenging behaviours, including communication difficulties, sensory overload, and environmental factors.
- Communication difficulties
- Sensory overload
- Environmental factors
Supporting Individuals with PBS
Care professionals can support individuals with PBS by developing individualised support plans, providing positive reinforcement, and reducing restrictive practices.
PBS is a collaborative approach that requires care professionals to work with individuals, families, and other professionals to develop and implement support plans.
