Reseña del editor

The parents and professionals who wrote this book have remarkable stories, insights, and research to share--all about children with a range of disabilities who overcame difficult behavior challenges with the help of positive behavior support (PBS). How did they do it, and how can professionals and families use the same principles with the children they care for? This practical resource gives them a wealth of answers, introducing readers to- Real-life experience. Poignant, insightful essays by parents of diverse backgrounds bring the chapter topics to life. Their stories illustrate exactly how PBS strategies--such as person-centered planning, communication through symbols and signals, and positive reinforcement--have helped real children of all ages communicate, participate in peer and community activities, reduce challenging behavior, and build relationships with peers and families.
- Practical instructions. Readers get step-by-step processes for assessing children, planning PBS-based interventions, and implementing support plans--often illustrated with charts, question lists, and visual aids. For researchers, the book also includes clear and detailed descriptions of methodologies.
Packed with equal parts information and inspiration, this book helps families and practitioners make creative and appropriate use of PBS, improving communication, behavior, and quality of life for children with behavior challenges.
