Brendan
and his family were physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted
and were in desperate need of help. Brendan’s parents had
tried absolutely everything in their “bag of tricks”
but nothing seemed to work with their youngest son. They felt
like they were failing!
Positive
Behavior Support (PBS)
provided Brendan’s family with a newfound hope!
PBS was a match with their family routines and values. PBS allowed
Brendan’s parents to view their dreams and visions for
their son as achievable.
Brendan’s
case study is an example of a young boy who has benefited from
the process of Positive Behavior Support.
The case study provides specific details of the success that
he and his family experienced with PBS. Throughout this case
study are examples of products created, video vignettes, and
materials produced and utilized. Brendan’s case study
will take you through the steps that his support team went through
to determine the purpose of his behavior and how they moved
from a Functional Assessment
all the way through developing and implementing Brendan’s
Behavior Support Plan.
“Positive
Behavior Support is a set of tools that has allowed our children
to more fully participate and succeed in everyday life.”
~John Hornbeck, Brendan’s and Josh’s Dad
