Positive behavioral support. A perspective on the treatment of problem behaviors
Abstract
The schools have to face, more and more, to behaviors problems that some pupils show. Traditionally, the treatment of these behaviors has focused on its reduction. However, the current perception that of these behaviors requires new approaches. The Positive Behavior Support is a different perspective for the treatment of behavior problems at school. It is an essentially educational, systemic, proactive and positive approach. The aim of this paper is to present what it is understood for positive behavior support, its main characteristics and its components
