Review Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports and

Positive Behavior Support Plan (Essential Elements).
Positive behavioral intervention and support (PBIS) can
either be individually based or school wide (SWPBIS), and
in many cases both. The whole school can have a behavior
intervention plan that involves system-wide positive
rewards for following the schools code of conduct and
consistent negative reinforcement for code violations.
Individually based behavior plans are dependent on the
students unique target behavior and what the student
finds as a motivator. The main goal of either a school-wide
or individual-based PBIS is to teach students to generalize

positive behaviors in the real world without adult

support or external rewards.
Thomas was a fourth grader at a local elementary school
who was diagnosed with Down syndrome and received
specially designed instruction as defined on his IEP.
Thomas had been attending the school since first grade
and knew several of the other students. He received most
of his instruction in separate special education class that
was located within the general population. Thomas
teachers described his problem behaviors as off task and
disruptive to instruction and other activities that included
excessive talking, prolonged waving and pointing at
peers, and excessively long transitions between activities.
Thomas has also been sent home several times for
touching peers in private areas. The teachers have
reported that when there are five or more students per
teacher the majority of problems arise. Thomas really likes
getting the teachers attention, high-fives, and getting
calls home to say he is doing a great job.
What would you choose as the one target behavior that
needs to be modified? Which differentiated response
would you choose to use to modify the behavior and why?
How will you teach this new skill? What will you use as a
reward? What will you use as a negative reinforcer? What
are two short-term goals (1 month each) you can use to
achieve your long term goal? What is your long-term goal
(at the conclusion of 6 months)? How will you teach him to
generalize this goal?
