An Introduction to PBS by BILD is a short animation – just six minutes long – that gives an overview of PBS and how PBS approaches work in practice when supporting an individual. This animation was created by a small group of academics and researchers, practitioners and parents, trainers and facilitators and people with a learning disability who are passionate about improving the quality of people’s lives.

It is important to remember that with the right support, most people with a learning disability can lead independent lives. 

Active Support is a way of working that supports individuals to take part in activities they want. It supports people to gain skills in independent living, and help people have a good quality of life. 

Active Support is about engaging people in their own lives – doing with and not doing to.

Here Dr Julie Beadle-Brown talks about Active Support.
