What is Positive Behavior Support Plan

Chapter 5
The Role of Child Life Specialists in Community Settings
A plan created after completing a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). It is a working document that is continually evaluated and redesigned if strategies are not working or next steps need to be made. This proactive plan focuses on the function of behavior by looking at changing the environment the behavior occurs, the lagging skills leading to the behavior, and how the behavior is reinforced. This plan aims to decrease challenging behaviors and increase appropriate, functional behaviors instead.
