Noted for providing everything needed to develop individualised positive behaviour support (PBS) plans for students with pervasive behavioural challenges, this authoritative guide has been revised and expanded to reflect 15 years of changes in the field. The book walks practitioners through the PBS process, emphasising a team-based approach and presenting assessment procedures, intervention strategies, and guiding questions. Detailed case examples illustrate ways to meet the diverse needs of students across abilities, grade levels (PreK–12), and problem behaviours. In a convenient large-size format, the book follows the sequence of a typical PBS course, making it ideal for use in teaching and training.

New to This Edition:

  • Incorporates current tools and practices within an expanded, whole-school PBS approach.
  • Chapters on multi-tiered systems of support and the fundamentals of classroom management.
  • Chapter on writing, monitoring, and evaluating a complete PBS plan.
  • Two extended case examples that run through many of the chapters.
  • “Commentaries from the Field” in which leading experts reflect on the contributions, challenges, and future directions of PBS.
