NWC Training
Announcement
Positive Behavior Support
Presented by
Joe Hutchings
March 14th, 2008 - 9am-4pm
About the training:
Positive Behavior Support (PBS) presents basic and critical information about
the philosophy and practice of staff support for people with developmental
disabilities. PBS is the only system of support sanctioned and allowed for use
at NWC and by DDD state policy for funded agencies. CS staff are required to use
PBS every day to understand consumer preference, to protect and improve their
quality of life, to train and increase positive skills and to decrease problem
behavior.
For more information about PBS see DDD Policy 5.14:
