Join Free →In our October Journal Club presented by Dr. Lori Ann Dotson, we will be exploring "Positive Behavior Support in the treatment of Aggression" (book chapter). In this session, we will delve into the application of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) for managing severe problem behaviors, particularly aggression. PBS applies the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to improve quality of life by addressing behaviors that pose significant barriers. We'll discuss how PBS plans are developed through comprehensive functional assessments and designed to minimize the need for reactive, punitive interventions, instead focusing on proactive, constructive strategies. During the session, we will dive into both proactive strategies like environmental modifications and skill-building to prevent aggression, as well as reactive approaches for managing behaviors when they occur. Our discussion will cover how these strategies can be seamlessly implemented to ensure consistency and promote positive long-term outcomes. This is an excellent opportunity for behavior analysts and practitioners to deepen their understanding of PBS and collaborate on best practices.
