Positive Behaviour Support

PBS prioritises quality of life and person centeredness alongside behaviour analysis. It 聽has a human rights base.聽 性福宝 continues to increase staff awareness through training and professional links such as the PBS North East and Cumbria community of practice.聽 Our Person Centred Care and Support Plans provide clear direction on how to proactively create opportunities for positive and valued behaviour.聽 Such behaviour of concern is always placed in the context of a person鈥檚 life and assessed using the principles of behaviour analysis.聽 Behaviour Support Plans in 性福宝 are usually to help the person manage anxiety.

Providing support within a PBS culture is most tested when individuals experience anxiety. We recognise that having autism in a 鈥渘euro-typical world鈥� can often result in a person experiencing high stress levels.聽聽聽This can then be perceived by others as 鈥渃hallenging behaviour鈥� which is most effectively managed with low arousal approaches.

• Low Arousal is a collection of behaviour management strategies 性福宝 employs which focus on the avoidance of confrontation.聽 This is primarily achieved by the reduction of triggers or cue behaviours which would escalate an individual’s anxiety levels.
• This approach is highly valued within 性福宝 and is the practical means by which staff act in ways that are consistent with building trusting relationships.聽 The staff’s ability to support others when they are most distressed also helps to develop resilient relationships.
