Welcome to PBS Matters. In our fifth episode, Tony Osgood introduces what person-centred planning is and why it is crucial when delivering Positive Behaviour Support.

Welcome to PBS Matters. In our fourth episode, Jo and Paddy are joined by Adele Grandon to discuss the application of ABA from a family point of view. Connor, Adele’s son has benefited from the use of ABA to develop skills since he was three years old. Now at the age of 23, Adele is aiming to ensure that Connor continues to have ABA and PBS input as he moves from the family home.

Welcome to PBS Matters. In the concluding part of our third episode, Leah Fennama shares two cases from her work while Jo and Paddy consider how these could inform practice within PBS settings. The first case is based in an airport with the aim to maintain safe working practices. Interventions included training to define what observable safety behaviour is and providing scripts for how to specifically respond to seeing safe and unsafe behaviour. The second case refers to a manufacturer where Leah worked with the leadership team to consider what data was collected, what data was needed and which data was no longer relevant.

Welcome to PBS Matters. In our third episode podcast we welcome Leah Fennama to discuss how Organisational Behaviour Management can be used to support systems and change employee behaviour. We cover leadership, the importance of pinpointing behaviours, feedback and data collection. Leah also explains how taking data and providing effective feedback can be enough to influence change.

Welcome to PBS Matters. Continuing our second episode, Roy, Paddy and Jo discuss what the differences between management and practice leadership are and why it is important to have practice leaders.
