Benefits of PBS
The benefits of positive behaviour support (PBS) include:
- improved quality of life for the individual and their support network
- specific behavioural improvements
- positive outcomes, such as being able to take part in the community

- empowered support with a positive and proactive approach. This reduces the need for restrictive practices.
