Positive Behaviour Support plans focus on understanding the reasons behind challenging behaviours and it is important to remember that these behaviours often occur due to an unmet need or communication difficulties. Some of the benefits of using a PBS plan include:
- Helps you identify patterns or triggers of behaviours
- Aids strategies to be implemented that focus on positive reinforcement than punishment (which sadly still happens in a lot of learning disability services)
- Promotes independence through coping strategies, confidence and independence
