What is the Family Focus Positive Behavior Support (FFPBS) Program based on?
The FFPBS model is based on a philosophy of and research on positive behavior support and wrap-around. Derived from the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, positive behavior support is a comprehensive, positive approach to working with individuals. Positive behavior support focuses on preventing problems before they occur, making changes in environments, teaching new skills and improving quality of life. Wrap-around is a family-centered approach that emphasizes interagency collaboration, the use of formal and informal supports, and services tailored to the needs of the family or support system. FFPBS combines the best of both positive behavior support and wrap-around.
