Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred approach that focuses on understanding and improving an individual’s behaviour by addressing the underlying causes. In Cameron’s case, PBS helps by:
- Understanding Behaviour: It identifies the reasons behind Cameron’s challenging behaviours, such as his reactions to frustration or overwhelming environments, allowing for tailored strategies.
- Enhancing Quality of Life: PBS promotes a supportive environment that respects Cameron’s rights and dignity, fostering his emotional well-being and sense of security.
- Proactive Strategies: It involves developing proactive strategies to manage and modify Cameron’s behaviours through skill development and creating safe spaces for him to express himself.
- Response Strategies: PBS provides clear response strategies to manage incidents of challenging behaviour, enabling staff to respond effectively while ensuring Cameron feels supported.
- Monitoring and Review: Regular review and additional support ensure strategies remain relevant and effective, helping Cameron to achieve his goals and improve his overall quality of life.
Thus, PBS is instrumental in guiding Cameron towards positive behavioural change and enhancing his ability to engage with his community and family.
