P.2 Interventions spreading the positive behaviour in health and social care
Below are various interventions which promotes the positive behaviour in health and
social care by Care U.K company. They are - Functional Behaviour assessment – These includes the procedures and ways to evaluate
the causes of behaviour of individuals who have interaction disabilities (Salend, 2015) .
It collects the relevant data which explains the influence of variables of environment on
the behaviour and causes of the behaviour. This helps in many programmes which can
change the behaviour of disabled individuals and they can behave in proper and efficient
manner. Proactive strategies – These strategies are used to complete the needs and wants of
individuals on daily basis (Crone, Hawken and Horner, 2015). These helps in
increasing the communication skills of various individuals and people can maintain good
relationship with one another . It also includes various changes which are understandable
to all individuals.
 Development of Antecedents and triggers – These are the situations which are occurred
before the behaviour of the person. Antecedents knowledge is important for every
individual as then only alteration can be done in the behaviour of the person. Triggers
generate the code which automatically starts when person deals Ruth the particular
situation (Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi, 2014). So hence responses can be determined
and then further changes can be made in the behaviour of persons.
