California law and regulation requires that regional centers display on their Web sites information about the dollar value of services they purchase for clients. These data (called "purchase of service" or "POS" data) must be reported separately by clients' ethnic/racial group, langauge and diagnosis.
Behavioral Interventions for Challenging Students
This interactive presentation focuses (Day 1) on how to establish effective school-wide Discipline, Behavior Management, and School Safety systems (Tier 1) to increase students’ interpersonal, social problem-solving, conflict prevention and resolution, and emotional coping skills, as well as their academic engagement and academic achievement. Using a “Positive Behavioral Support” foundation, the workshop then (Day 2) discusses Strategic (Tier 2) and Intensive (Tier 3) interventions to assist challenging students who are behaviorally unsuccessful or non-responsive.
One of the principles emphasized throughout the workshop is: “The absence or elimination of a student’s behavioral problem does not necessarily mean that the student has good pro-social skills.” For that reason, Day 1 will focus on how to teach students effective social, emotional, and behavioral skills, and how to help them to apply these skills at self-management level.
Day 2 will focus on how to specifically plan, implement, and evaluate Tier 2 behavioral interventions. These interventions will be organized to address the need to: (a) Increase or Establish New Student Behaviors; (b) Decrease or Eliminate Inappropriate Student Behaviors; (c) Teach Attention and Engagement Skills; (d) Teach Social, Self-Management, and Self-Control Skills; (e) Increase Student Motivation; and (f) Address Teasing, Taunting, Bullying, Harassment, and Physical Aggression/Fighting. The specific interventions discussed will be evidence-based, teacher-friendly, and field-tested.
This workshop will provide case examples as appropriate. For each intervention, the following information will be provided: (a) Problem Situations where the Intervention is most-used or most useful; (b) functional assessment outcomes that necessarily link to make this intervention relevant; (c) the Age Levels where the Intervention will be most successful; and (d) the Severity Level of the Student and/or Problem where the Intervention will be most successful.
