August 8, 2019 - Vista Sands: Positive Behavior Support for Elementary Age Children - William Murguia Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist Children Services-ICBHS Calexico.
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a behavior management system used to understand what maintains an individual’s challenging behavior. People’s inappropriate behaviors are difficult to change because they are functional; they serve a purpose for them. These behaviors are supported by reinforcement in the environment. In the case of students and children, often adults in a child’s environment will reinforce his or her undesired behaviors because the child will receive objects and/or attention because of his behavior. |
