In this training, we discuss PBS with regard to it’s history, definition, major sources, values, elements, features, and principles. Then we go over the PBS intervention called Prevent, Teach, and Reinforce, or PTR. We also explain PBS strategies for individuals with challenging behaviors, which include proactive, teaching, and reactive strategies. Finally, we briefly go over PBS schoolwide strategies for discipline, which include a 3-Tiered approach to behavior management.
