Positive Behavior Support

About

Overview Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is an approach to improving human behavior by arranging environments and contingencies to make challenging behavior unnecessary and preferred behavior easy and effective. This involves helping people improve the quality of their lives (e.g. personal, health, social, family) and replacing challenging behavior with socially acceptable alternative behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the science behind PBS, and the courses in the PBS Certificate comprise a Behavior Analyst Certification Board®, Inc. “Verified Course Sequence” or VCS.PBS employs research-validated behavioral practices of teaching and reinforcing behavior for individual children and adults as well as for groups of people including those in classrooms, families, schools, agencies and so forth. Attention is focused on understanding the conditions in the environment that contribute to challenging behavior and modifying those conditions to strengthen desirable behavior.
