Alberta Council of Disability Services

Positive Behaviour Supports

We offer three distinct Positive Behaviour Supports (PBS) trainings to support frontline staff working with individuals with developmental disabilities who experience behaviours of concern:

  • Introduction to Positive Behaviour Supports: Provides foundational knowledge on understanding the individual, building trust, and developing relationships to better support individuals during challenging behaviours. 
  • Introduction to Positive Behaviour Supports Tutor Training (Train-the-Trainer): Focuses on preparing participants to become PBS tutors, equipping them to teach PBS strategies to other staff. 
  • Advanced Skills in Positive Behaviour Supports: Expands on the introductory concepts, offering advanced techniques for managing more complex behaviours of concern.

See our events page to register for any upcoming instructor-led PBS trainings.
