This session is part 1 of a 3-part series that focuses on the concepts of Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) for anyone who is helping someone find and keep their job in supported and customized employment services. This session will help you see behavior supports in a new way, less as a box of tricks and more of as a comprehensive philosophy that exists all around us.
