In our February Journal Club presented by Trent Carberry and Sarah Hutchson we will be exploring “Positive Behaviour Support is effective when implemented correctly”.  

Overview:

This journal club will delve into the article "Positive Behaviour Support is effective when implemented correctly: A response to 'Restrictive practice – A pathway to elimination'". This response challenges critiques of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) as an effective intervention to reduce challenging behaviors and restrictive practices in disability services. Drawing on empirical evidence and practical case studies, the authors argue for the fidelity and quality of PBS implementation as key determinants of its success. The article underscores the need for adherence to core principles of PBS, including applied behavior analysis, person-centered approaches, and human rights considerations, to achieve meaningful outcomes for individuals with disabilities. 

Participants will explore the article's insights into the alignment of PBS practices with contemporary disability service values, the interplay between legislative compliance and clinical effectiveness, and the practical implications of maintaining high standards in PBS plans and their execution. This discussion will equip practitioners with a deeper understanding of the structural and ethical nuances critical to enhancing the efficacy of PBS frameworks.
