Positive Behavior Support for Children for Paraprofessionals
Historically, behavior management methods have focused on punitive, zero-tolerance measures. However, research has shown greater success with positive behavioral supports. Positive behavioral supports focus less on punishment and more on replacing challenging behaviors with more appropriate behaviors. The goal of this course is to inform staff in health and human services settings about positive behavior support and how to implement positive behavior support strategies to assist youth.
