Positive Behavior Support of Nevada



"Promoting Positive Environments, Preventing Challenging Behaviors, and Enhancing Quality of Life"

Positive Behavior Support strives to address and prevent challenging behavior by teaching new skills, increasing independence, promoting positive environments, and enhancing quality of life. PBS combines the sciences of Applied Behavior Analysis with the comprehensive philosophy of Person Centered Planning.

In the PBS process, challenging behavior is assessed in the context of the person's lifestyle and values. PBS emphasizes that challenging behavior is the result of an environment that is not currently supporting the unique needs of the individual.

PBS uses environmental, lifestyle and functional assessment strategies and individualized behavioral interventions, where appropriate, to develop a comprehensive behavioral support plan that results in quality of life improvements across multiple settings.
