A widely used practitioner guide and text, this book presents a blueprint for meeting the challenges of severe problem behaviour in grades PreK-8. It shows how to provide effective behaviour support for the 1-5% of students who require intensive, individualised intervention. Case examples illustrate step-by-step procedures for identifying student needs using functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and designing, implementing, and evaluating team-based behaviour support plans (BSP). The book also describes how to build school- and district-wide capacity to conduct FBA-BSP. Reproducible forms and worksheets are included; purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

New to This Edition:

  • Incorporates current FBA-BSP research and best practices.
  • Chapters on developing district-wide capacity; FBA apps and software; applications for academic problems; and early childhood settings.
  • Increased attention to FBA-BSP as a Tier III intervention within a multi-tiered framework.
