Description
This book, whose contents are in Czech, presents Positive Behaviour Support, or PBS, a comprehensive approach focused on people and their dignity, while respecting their individuality. Tony Osgood, a British expert in supporting people with intellectual disabilities and care-intensive behaviour, explains how challenging behaviour can represent a form of communication that cannot take place in the usual way. He offers strategies and practical guidance for understanding its manifestations and causes, preventing crisis situations and reducing challenging behaviour in children and adults with profound intellectual or developmental disabilities, including autism. The book presents possible approaches for situations at school, in social services and in the family. Each chapter ends with a summary of its main ideas or questions for discussion. Its principal aim is to improve the quality of life of everyone involved, including people who need support, carers and parents.
