About this presentation

An enduring vision of TASH is a society where homes, schools, communities and work places effectively include individuals with severe disabilities. This webinar will focus on the role of Multi-tiered systems of support as a policy and intervention approach that works toward this vision. The content will build from experience implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). This session will frame the PBS webinar series and place each of the subsequent topics into the context of PBS planning. Participants should leave with the ability to define multi-tiered systems of behavior support, and the role of parents, teachers, administrators or advocates in fostering effective implementation of multi-tiered supports.

Learning Objectives

As a result of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Define three variables that are changing special education in the United States.
  • Define the core features of multi-tiered systems of behavior support.
  • Define a specific role they can play in fostering multi-tiered systems of behavior support in their community/schools.
Who should attend

This presentation is for anyone committed to inclusive educational settings, and the potential role of multi-tiered systems of academic and behavior support in achieving effective inclusion.
