Details about Positive Behavior Supports for Adults with Disabilities in Employment, Community, and Residential Settings: Practical Strategies That Work:

This book responds to a critical need for highly qualified personnel who will become exemplary professionals in positive behavior supports for adults with disabilities.  The authors present a coherent and systematic approach to understanding the purpose of positive behavior supports and how support providers can implement these strategies for desirable results. Written in a nontechnical format that includes real-life examples, the information presented is practical and easily implemented. Each chapter contains Window to the World Case Studies, Key Point Questions, Best Practice Recommendations, Employment, Community and Residential Activity Suggestions, and Discussion Questions. Important and relevant “older” references are included that emphasize the understanding of how this field of study has been built upon “classic research,” establishing the basis of positive behavior supports.  An advantage of this book is that agencies and organizations preparing support providers can easily use the book in courses or training that address positive behavior supports, as it covers methodology that is seldom covered in detail in other texts. Support providers will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to provide positive behavior supports in employment, community, and residential settings, thereby improving the quality of life for the individuals they support.  This second edition has been edited and rewritten with new and significant material, including additional behavior support plans.  College instructors are likely to choose this book based upon the consistent format used throughout and the readability of the book for students in college classes or adult service providers.  The comprehensive coverage of positive behavior supports and the direct applicability to applied settings will prove useful to support providers that instruct, train, and supervise.
