POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

Behaviour of children can be on many occasions challenging. Children with special needs may manifest problem or challenging behaviour as they have difficulty in communicating their needs, feelings etc. The Positive Behaviour Support is an empirically validated approach or model where the teachers and parents observe the behaviour of the child in many settings to identify a pattern. Once the teachers understand the underlying function or communicative intent of behaviour, they teach the desirable behaviour, that is socially appropriate to communicate needs or wishes.These needs may be to seek tangible benefits , to avoid tasks they dislike or not able to perform, to gain attention or to seek sensory stimulation.

​

The key to a successful Positive Behaviour Support begins with Functional Behaviour Analysis that tracks the frequency, duration, intensity, time of the day and the location of problem behaviour. If we learn the causes of the behaviours that are challenging or problematic, we can plan positive strategies or positive behavioural interventions. Thus through positive behaviour strategies, we can develop appropriate behaviours and continue them in the class, at school and at home.

EXTENSION SERVICES

The parents bring the children, who are enrolled in the Out Patient Department where in all the data is collected about them and a specific programme is given to the parents, who are asked to attend the OPD regularly. We plan the transition for the children from OPD and also from the main stream schools from where we get the slow learners and children with learning disabilities in to the CSE. We also provide referral services by directing the parents to the respective doctors and therapy services. Our school is a Resource Unit where in we give all the required information to the parents, medical and para medical students, volunteers etc..
