All behaviour has meaning. Does positive behaviour support approaches help develop skills for people with learning disabilities, and reduce levels of challenging behaviour.
All behaviour happens for a reason and challenging behaviour is no different. Behaviour takes many forms whether that’s hurting themselves or others and may take a serious impact of an individual’s daily life. It has often been temporarily dealt with temporary solutions and short time fixes and normally doesn’t address the reason as to why the behaviour is happening and what the meaning behind the actions are.

Aim 3: To determine how staff training for Positive Behaviour Support has improved the lives of people with learning disabilities
Objective 3a): To establish what training is provided for personal behaviour support and what guidelines and factors need to be met.
Objective 3b): To establish the outcome of Positive Behaviour Support and whether it has enhanced the lives of people with learning disabilities when all regulations and factors are met from the training guide.
Rationale for my methodology
Aim 1: To determine that adults with learning disabilities can develop new skills due to Positive Behaviour Support.
Objective 1a): To uncover what skills adults had before the use of the Positive Behaviour Support.
Objective 1b): To discover if people with learning disabilities developed new skills due to Positive Behaviour Support, and if so what skills were developed or gained.
To establish whether adults with learning disabilities can develop new skills I will need to investigate what the base line skills were and whether Positive Behaviour Support has allowed a person to develop on previous skills or gain new skills. I will achieve this by look at primary research such as a case study. I will carry out a systematic analysis of a case study about Positive Behaviour Support to allow my conclusion to be more broad and more accurate. I will get this information from websites of respected organisations within the learning disability
Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disability in the 21st Century’. Published 2001 The Protection of Vulnerable Adults Scheme (POVA) for England and Wales. Published 2004.
Valuing People (Department of Health 2001) it was introduced by the labour government who were keen to promote independent living. This white paper on learning disabilities was for the first in England in 30 years. It made direct payments available to more people with a learning disability and was the first paper where we officially come across the term ‘Person Centred Planning’. It stresses the importance of Personal Centred Planning in helping people with learning difficulties take charge of their own lives. This paper has been ‘refreshed’ in 2009 titling it Value People Now and is a new three year strategy for people with learning disabilities, and will lead to better lives for people.
Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an approach to providing services to individuals who exhibit challenging behaviour. Since the early 1990s, PBS has received increasing attention from the behaviour-analytic community. Some behaviour analysts have embraced this approach, but others have voiced questions and concerns. Over the past dozen years, an approach to delivery of behavioral services known as positive behavior support has emerged as a highly visible movement. Although PBS has been substantially influenced by applied behavior analysis, other factors are also part of its
