  • Descrição: In the past two decades, positive behavior support (PBS) has emerged from applied behavior analysis (ABA) as a newly fashioned approach to problems of behavioral adaptation. ABA was established in the 1960s as a science in which learning principles are systematically applied to produce socially important changes in behavior, whereas PBS was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a general strategy of intervention and support, employing concepts and methods from ABA and other disciplines; this approach was intended to enhance an individual's quality of life and reduce problem behaviors. It is well understood that PBS emerged from ABA and is indebted to ABA for much of its conceptual, methodological, and technological foundations. ABA is the root discipline of PBS, and PBS is still in its infancy in terms of creating the new theoretical frameworks and data required to establish the approach as a fully distinct applied science. Although its separate identity is already warranted by the essential and unique substance of its critical features, the links binding PBS to ABA remain numerous and vital. The debt that PBS owes to ABA is most obvious at the procedural level of direct intervention practices, especially at the level of the individual. These practices are derived largely from principles of instrumental learning, such as positive reinforcement and stimulus control, and extend to the considerable assessment and intervention technology that developed over the early years of ABA. This technology includes refined strategies of instruction, antecedent manipulations, contingency management, and functional analysis and functional assessment. In addition, intervention research and evaluation in PBS typically have adopted the methods of direct observation and time series designs, which are emblematic of ABA. In short, while it is apparent that PBS embraces traditions and perspectives beyond those associated with ABA, the similarities in service delivery are indisputable. Still, there are aspects of the relationship of PBS to ABA that are deeper than theory, data, methods, and procedures. According to this author, the parentage of ABA is most telling in its early model of problem solving and the creative energy that was brought to bear in a synthesis of empirical accountability and incisive focus on the behavioral challenges of human beings. The early years of ABA were steeped in this dynamic synthesis, and this spirit and culture have been recapitulated in the form of PBS.
