SNAPSHOT: Most students respond to primary and secondary efforts to support positive behaviors. But how do you use positive behavior support with the most difficult students who don't respond to primary prevention or secondary intervention programs?

In simple steps, Kathleen Lynne Lane of the Peabody College of Vanderbilt University will show you how to execute a 3-tiered model of support for all students--and how to develop targeted
individualized interventions for students with the most
persistent problem behaviors.

Find out how to carry out these interventions in case studies of real students. Lane will show how teachers can implement targeted positive behavior support interventions in the classroom so that you can make the best use
of your limited resources.

The 3-tier model includes:

Tier 1. Primary Prevention--develop a mission and school-wide expectations for behavior with clear procedures for teaching, reinforcing and monitoring these behaviors

Tier 2. Secondary Prevention--develop specialized group programs for students with at-risk behaviors (e.g. organization, social skills).

Tier 3. Tertiary Prevention--develop targeted interventions for students unresponsive to the first two levels of positive behavior support.

CONFERENCE TOPICS: Key topics in this conference on positive behavior support with the least responsive students include:

• how to troubleshoot problem behaviors and do a functional behavioral assessment through interviews with teachers, parents and students, direct observation, rating scales and data collection;
• how to use multiple pathways to eliminate problem behaviors, including adjustment of classroom conditions, controlling consequences of desired and undesired behaviors and lastly an "extinction plan" to eliminate target behaviors;
• how to work with teachers to carry out the positive behavior support intervention in the classroom;
• how to monitor and measure changes in desired and undesired behaviors.
