Abstract	One aspect of family-centered positive behavior support (PBS) that has not received great attention to date involves the indirect benefits on the lives of family members who have children with challenging behavior. For instance, reductions in a child's problem behaviors could enhance the lifestyle status of parents and other family members. This article examines the effects on families of behavior support focused on a child. The authors provide a discussion of these important issues, complemented by a case example in which a grandmother's work environment improved as a function of her grandson's improved behavior at school. The authors believe that this example exemplifies some of the most important, albeit indirect, effects of positive behavior support, and that it emphasizes the interconnectedness of family members' lives and the importance of a broad quality-of-life perspective on the enterprise of all behavioral interventions.
