A key point in defining "Developmental Disability" includes "conditions that are chronic or are constantly recurring and persisting throughout a person’s life."

Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, where symptoms of dementia gradually worsen over time. There are stages of the disease that include different symptoms.

In PBS, there are 3 important areas that can play an important role in changing behavior, they are Environment, Communication, and Choice.

Other than speech, there are many ways to communicate. Check off the correct examples of communication:

Pointing at an object

Proloquo-2-go

Turning their body away

Anticipation of an answer

Communication is more than how we communicate, it’s also what we communicate and when we communicate. True or False: Miscommunication can result if our body language and words do not match.

Environment can positively or negatively affect a person’s behavior. Check all that apply:

Removing other people from the room can change behavior.

Changing the lighting in the room can change behavior.

Changing the temperature of the room can change behavior.

One of the goals of PBS is helping people to achieve greater independence, one way this can be gained is through removing Choice Opportunities.

A person’s affect and movement cannot show the choice a person is making.

Asking “this or that” questions can be a good alternative to asking open-ended questions.

With Positive Behavior Support in mind, instead of teaching people to do things independently, we should always do everything for people we support.
