What is Positive Systems Approach?
"Positive Systems Approach" (PSA) has been widely used in community agencies throughout Southwestern Ontario and, for over 20 years, Dr. Carey in conjunction with Regional Support Associates, offered formal training workshops and courses in PSA and Applied Behaviour Analysis to thousands of staff working in community settings as well as college students. After many years, Dr. Carey, along with Terry Kirkpatrick, have found the time to write a comprehensive book about Positive Systems Approach. This book has been revised and updated from the initial offering that was made available on the web-site and is now on Amazon where it can be purchased in ebook or hard cover format. We believe that this book will be a valuable resource for agencies, staff, families and anybody who is interested in learning more about positive ways of supporting individuals who present with complex and very challenging behaviours. Our available Online Video training sessions reflect a ceaseless commitment to making learning easily accessible from anywhere in the world. This approach to learning is designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn these skills on their own time. At the heart of everything that we do is our commitment to accessible education and our students’ success. We invite you to explore our diverse offering designed for learners from all backgrounds and levels. Please check out the Blog page to see additional discussion regarding concepts in the book as well as a "PSA Checklist" where you can rate how well you are doing in implementing a PSA approach for individuals that you support.
