Each individual has the right to lead a productive and further a happy life and with this vision in mind, Shreeji Training provides unparalleled support to individuals. One of the most crucial tenets that we follow is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), which puts forth a constructive approach to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder or any sort of learning disability. The objective is to equip caregivers with the ability to support an individual to lead a more peaceful life and in the process enhancing their quality of life. 

 

What is Positive Behavioural Support (PBS)?

Essentially, PBS is viewed not as a tactic but rather as a holistic system in ensuring that the best possible communication methods are made available to people. There is also the possibility that the individual may behave in a certain manner when they are overwhelmed or frustrated, PBS shifts the focus on why the individual may be behaving in that manner and addresses it accordingly. Providing a personalised support plan as a solution ensures wider welfare and reduces further distress. 

 

Significance of Person Centred Approach

Every person has distinctive needs, life experiences and preferences, the person centric approach which forms the basis of PBS ensures that each individual is treated with respect and has their goals aligned with them. Using this philosophy, we try to devise a support plan ensuring that it's the individual that is being safeguarded as opposed to the behaviour. At Shreeji we also take it further and ensure that support plans devised are socially significant.

How PBS Improves Quality of Life

By adopting the PBS approach, such individuals and their families may experience an improved quality of life. For example, with individualized support plans, women like Isabelle, Gillian, and Paul and individuals like Richard have been able to reduce distress, promote independence, and have more active participation in their society. At Shreeji Training, it is our aim to empower and enable the caregivers in achieving the same results and create an atmosphere where individuals can do well.

 

Key Components of PBS

1. Evaluation and Comprehension

In PBS, as a start, an assessment of the individual to gauge their specific needs, their preferences, and what may cause them to be distressed, is conducted. The gathering of information in this aspect encompasses a wide range of people including family members and caregivers along with the targeted individuals.

2. Support Plan Formulation

An accompanied plan has to be developed for each individual, which is aimed towards the prevention of distress along with alternative behavioral skills. Such elements include assessment information and strategies such as proactive to prevent distress, skills to manoeuvre alternative behaviors and reactiveness to manage the matters whenever they arise.

3. Support Plan Execution and Evaluation

Once the support plan has been created and accepted, it is important that the changes proposed are carried out and the plan is regularly evaluated so as to determine if it is working or not. Routine review of the support plan guarantees that any changes that are made to it are in accordance with the individual's evolving traits.

4. Collaboration and Teamwork 

We can offer the most help to other stakeholders such as caregivers, family members, professionals, and individuals. And for that, we can start at Shreeji Training as conducting teamwork is vital to getting the optimal results. 

 

Curbing Distressed Behaviour 

Restrained behaviours are one of the primary goals of PBS. Such behaviours could lead to distressing and often lead to practice such as restraint. Caregivers and professionals are trained to understand pulling such behaviours and restraining use appropriate intervention. To help achieve this, educators are also encouraged to limit interference due to such behaviours. 

 

Eliminating Restraint as a Management Strategy 

At Shreeji Training, there is zero tolerance for restraint as a management strategy. This is because restraint is only counterproductive. Initiation tries to manage restraint but is never an effective solution. PBS arms the caregivers with strategies that prevent the cares from needing restraining measures wherever possible. 

 

Engaging Training at Shreeji 

Providing the best possible care entails going through the right training and that is what we do at Shreeji.
