POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT IN CUDV DRAGA

Summary/Abstract: In this article we talk about children, adolescents and adults up to 26 years, with moderate, severe and profound intellectual disabilities and with severe emotional and behavioral disorders. We present the theoretical foundations, Positive support program, systemic foundations (legal, staff), the number of incidents in 2020 and suggestions for solutions. At CUDV Draga, we have been working for many years with children, adolescents and adults with severe emotional and behavioral disorders, and we are using and developing various methods to reduce the behavioral problems we face on a daily basis. We explain the Positive Support program and the methods we use. Despite Positive Behavioral Support, some individuals are still very threatening to themselves, other users and workers. We propose and describe functioning of the Specialized Unit for Children and Adolescents with Severe Behavioral Disorders. The basis for reducing behavioral disorders and improving the quality of life is a sufficient number of staff, which enables safety and reduction of medication, minimal use of restrictive measures and the implementation of the Positive Support program. At CUDV Draga, we want to ensure a decent and quality life for all our users, regardless of emotional and behavioral disorders, which is their right and our common duty.
