How it works.
Understanding creates positive change.
Identify priority behavioural concerns.
Identify the main underlying factors.
Build practical proactive strategies that directly connect to the underlying factors.
Implement, review, reflect, update.
We don’t try to change the person. We understand what the behaviour is telling us, and support the change from there.
The Positive Behaviour Support approach.
