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. Each chapter contains Window to the World Case Studies, Key Point Questions, Best Practice Recommendations, Employment, Community and Residential Activity Suggestions, and Discussion Questions. 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.
