Positive Behavior Supports

Abstract

The field of positive behavior supports has grown rapidly in the last decade as a practice to address the very real and difficult challenges posed by problem behaviors. The present article defines the current status of positive behavior support and provides a vision for where this technology will lead. The article identifies four central messages that will shape the vision for the future and discusses where we are now in relation to those central themes and where we need to go as we head into the 21st century.
