Positive Behaviour Support
What is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a values driven framework for supporting individuals who experience behaviours of concern. PBS uses the science of behaviour and a strict set of values (E.g. quality of life and human rights).
Who is Positive Behaviour Support For?
PBS is beneficial to any individual, family or staff team who need evidence based and compassionate support with behaviours of concern. PBS can be delivered in the home, nursery/school, care home and/or community services. PBS can be used alongside traditional schooling or can be run as a temporary therapeutic program for children who’s school placement has broken down. It is appropriate for children and adults. Leapfrog Therapies staff are most skilled in working with individuals aged between 2-25 years.
How is Positive Behaviour Support carried out?
One of our qualified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA/UKBA) will run a Functional Behaviour Assessment to determine the function (reason) for the behaviour and formulate a Positive Behaviour Support Plan. They will then work with your family or staff team to give training in understanding behaviour and the individual’s personalised Positive Behaviour Support Plan. If you do not have any appropriate staff to support the child/young person, Leapfrog Therapies can provide trained PBS Therapists.
We can also offer clinical supervision to PBS Practitioners/Leads!
