In the early 1980’s, there were important advances in the design and application of interventions for challenging behavior. These advances were driven by research on innovations in approaches for behavior change and shifts in cultural values about the use of aversive and dehumanizing intervention practices with vulnerable populations. The non-aversive technology that emerged in the late 1980’s and early 1990s for addressing the challenging behaviors of individuals with severe disabilities was referred to as positive behavioral support (PBS). This approach included the use of functional assessment, antecedent manipulations, teaching strategies, and changes in reinforcement contingencies with a focus on achieving lifestyle changes as the outcome of intervention.

Specialized Teaching Strategies

Select a meaningful goal or skill the student will need to learn and present it at the level of the student; Provide a simple rationale to help the student understand the relevance of the skill; Give clearly stated task directions (limit the number of steps) and ask the student to repeat or paraphrase the directions to ensure understanding; Break tasks into small steps and demonstrate each step; Provide opportunities for student response and practice at an appropriate pace; Provide immediate feedback and error correction when necessary—feedback should be positive and systematic; and Use verbal praise and encouragement frequently.

Use a direct statement telling the student to start (rather than stop) a behavior; Look directly at the student as you give the request, move close, and use a soft, calm voice.; speak clearly, slowly and concisely—do not shout. Limit requests to only two or three at a time and give requests that the student is capable of following; Allow enough time for the student to follow through; and Recognize their effort with verbal praise and encouragement.
