Positive behavior supportPositive behavior support (PBS) uses tools from applied behaviour analysis and values of normalisation and social role valorisation theory to improve quality of life, usually in schools. PBS uses functional analysis to understand what maintains an individual's challenging behavior and how to support the individual to get these needs met in more appropriate way, instead of using 'challenging behaviours'. People's inappropriate behaviors are difficult to change because they are functional; they serve a purpose for them.
Order isomorphismIn the mathematical field of order theory, an order isomorphism is a special kind of monotone function that constitutes a suitable notion of isomorphism for partially ordered sets (posets). Whenever two posets are order isomorphic, they can be considered to be "essentially the same" in the sense that either of the orders can be obtained from the other just by renaming of elements. Two strictly weaker notions that relate to order isomorphisms are order embeddings and Galois connections.
Ordre lexicographiqueEn mathématiques, un ordre lexicographique est un ordre que l'on définit sur les suites finies d'éléments d'un ensemble ordonné (ou, de façon équivalente, les mots construits sur un ensemble ordonné). Sa définition est une généralisation de l'ordre du dictionnaire : l'ensemble ordonné est l'alphabet, les mots sont bien des suites finies de lettres de l'alphabet. La principale propriété de l'ordre lexicographique est de conserver la totalité de l'ordre initial.
