Positive Behavior Support

Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a set of research-based strategies used to increase quality of life and decrease problem behavior by teaching new skills and making changes in a person's environment. Coursera's Positive Behavior Support catalogue teaches you about the principles and practices of PBS to foster socially significant behaviors. You'll learn about functional behavior assessments, behavior intervention plans, and data-based decision making. You'll also gain insights into the role of family and community in implementing PBS, and how to use these strategies in various settings such as schools, homes, and workplaces. This skill is essential for educators, psychologists, social workers, and anyone interested in promoting positive behavior change.
