Description & Learning objectives

Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an ethical and evidence-based approach to supporting people who, for a variety of reasons engage in challenging behaviour. It combines the values of individualised child-centred planning with the science of 'applied behaviour analysis' (ABA).

PBS starts from the premise that all behaviour happens for a reason. No matter how 'dysfunctional' behaviour may appear to us, it serves a purpose (function) for the person exhibiting it. PBS enables us to assess the function of challenging behaviour and the environment within which it takes place. A focus on wellbeing and quality of life interventions means that the young person's needs are better met. A proven consequence of this is reductions in challenging behaviour and the use of restrictive practices.

This intermediate-level course is designed as an introduction to PBS for staff and carers looking after or educating children and young people with learning disabilities (including autism). It builds on the content covered in the introductory course or any existing prior knowledge. The subject matter is covered in more depth and introduces useful assessment tools and non-aversive reactive strategies (de-escalation and de-fusion) for the safe situational management of crisis-level behaviours.

The main learning objectives of the course are as follows:

  1. To understand the values and strategies of PBS
  2. To know how PBS can be used to improve quality of life and reduce challenging behaviour and the use of restrictive practices
  3. To understand what is meant by the term 'challenging behaviour'
  4. To be able to describe causal factors associated with challenging behaviour
  5. To be able to demonstrate an understanding of 'functions' of behaviour
  6. To be able to use a range of assessment tools for assessing functions of behaviour
  7. To understand the difference between 'proactive' and 'reactive' strategies and how to use them
  8. To understand what should be in a PBS plan and how to implement it
  9. To understand strategies for safe situational management of crisis-level behaviours
  10. To demonstrate an understanding of the importance of post-incident support for both young people and staff teams
