Description
Summary:The applied science of positive behavior supports (PBS) uses empirically-based educational and systems change methods to expand an individual's behavioral repertoire and minimize the occurrence of problem behavior (Carr et al., 2002). PBS was initially developed as an alternative to punishment-based interventions for aberrant behaviors displayed by individuals with developmental disabilities (Netzel & Eber, 2003). However, PBS strategies have been extended to include school-wide proactive intervention approaches (Sugai & Horner, 2006). The purpose of this manuscript is to describe PBS implementation as experienced by a rural southeastern school district. Outcomes and implications will be addressed.
