Positive Behavior Intervention Support Services

PBIS services are provided to participants who have significant behavioral difficulties, and may display inappropriate responses to events in their environment.  The PBIS program helps to eliminate or reduce behaviors that interfere with the participant’s ability to remain safely in the community, while teaching more socially appropriate behaviors.

​

PBIS services include:

• A comprehensive assessment of the individual’s behavior in the context of his/her abilities/disabilities and the environment which precipitates the behavior

• A detailed behavioral treatment plan which includes a clear description of successive levels of intervention starting with the simplest and least intrusive

• Arrangements for training informal supports and non-waiver service providers to effectively use the basic principles of the plan

• Regular reassessments of the effectiveness of the plan, and modifying of the plan as needed

• An emergency intervention plan when there is the possibility of the participant becoming a threat to him/herself or others.
