Implementing system-wide positive behaviour support through capable environments: a practice-based evaluation.

Knight J. Tizard Learning Disability Review 2026;31(2): 138–150.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the feasibility, acceptability and early outcomes of implementing a system-wide PBS model, using service-based evaluation data from a pilot. The model targeted organisational domains within the capable environments (CE) framework as a universal-level support. A pre–post, mixed-methods design was used with two UK-based adult IDD service providers.

Implementing skills-based treatment in naturalistic contexts.

Price H. Tizard Learning Disability Review 2026;31(2):127–137.

Where children develop behaviours that challenge (BtC), these can affect their, and their family’s, quality of life. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Practical functional assessment (PFA) and Skills-based treatment (SBT), delivered in naturalistic settings, in the United Kingdom. The quantitative data indicated that each of the children developed skills relating to communication, tolerance and cooperation.
