Introduction to the PBS Guide
This guide provides a step-by-step approach to implementing Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) in your organisation. It covers the key principles and practices of PBS, including functional assessment, behavioural intervention, and staff training.
Step 1: Functional Assessment
The first step in implementing PBS is to conduct a functional assessment of the individual's behaviour. This involves gathering information about the underlying causes of the behaviour, including medical, social, and environmental factors.
Step 2: Behavioural Intervention
- Develop a behavioural support plan
- Implement the plan
- Monitor and review progress
Once the functional assessment is complete, the next step is to develop a behavioural support plan. This plan should be based on the individual's needs and goals, and should include strategies for reducing challenging behaviour and promoting positive behaviour.
Step 3: Staff Training and Support
The final step in implementing PBS is to provide staff training and support. This includes training staff on the principles and practices of PBS, as well as providing ongoing support and supervision to ensure that the approach is being implemented effectively.
