SPED Behavior Supports

LRBI Manual : This document incorporates the model of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Response to Intervention (RtI). It suggests that effective educational practices remain implemented throughout the educational programming and across settings, even when more intensive and intrusive procedures are selected.

Issues with Bullying : The issue of bullying is particularly important for students with exceptionalities and therefore for special educators. It can be an unintended side effect of inclusion: when exceptional children are exposed to the general classroom, the risk of bullying increases.

Positive Behavior Systems   : Almost a decade of research has identified the most effective approach to addressing issues of behavior before they become a problem: schoolwide positive behavior support (SW-PBS). The most successful schools use this as part of a continuum of support that involves three levels.

Social Skills and Relationships :

Learning to successfully interact with others is one of the most important aspects of a child's development, with far-reaching implications. Although most children acquire social skills by example, and possibly osmosis, research clearly suggests children with learning disabilities (LD) may have difficulty making and keeping friends
