Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive behavioral support involves identifying and teaching alternative, acceptable ways of communication and behavior. This approach helps to prevent and reduce problem behaviors by addressing the underlying causes and providing support and reinforcement for positive behavior. Functional behavioral assessment and analysis are important components of positive behavioral support, but do not encompass the entire process of identifying and implementing alternative behaviors. Negative reinforcement involves increasing the likelihood of a behavior by removing an aversive stimulus, which is not the same as identifying and teaching alternative behaviors.
