Synopsis

Second Edition: In a value based service setting the positive behavior support methodology has responded to the call for a safe, respectful, and evidence informed practice for responding to challenging behaviors.

Instead of managing or treating behaviors, the positive behavior support methodology seeks to replace the goal seeking behavior with strategies that are more productive.

The response of the service and healthcare fields to this approach has been overwhelming; with legislation, organizational policies, research, educational curriculum, and communities of care all responding in support.
