Day 1 - Functional Behavior Assessment/Data Systems: The purpose and methods for conducting functional behavior assessment will be discussed in this session. Participants will learn the difference between basic and intensive functional behavior assessment. Also included will be a review of FBA data collection methods such as scatterplot and ABC recording, user-friendly graphic presentation of data, and a format for conducting behavior review meetings.

Day 2 - Designing Tier 3 PBIS Plans: Tier 3 intensive PBIS plans are based upon functional behavior assessment. The essential components of a Tier 3 plan include: prevention strategies, teaching replacement behaviors, individualized positive reinforcement, a plan for responding to problem behavior, and home collaboration. Participants will learn strategies for effective implementation from real life examples.

Day 3 - Emergency Interventions: In this session we will discuss MDE policy and Wayne County RESA guidance on the use of restrictive interventions such as seclusion, restraint, and exclusionary time-out. The Wayne RESA Guidelines for Behavior Intervention, 2020 is a primary resource for this information. School programs use different models for providing emergency interventions. Some examples of these will be discussed.

Day 4 - School-based Wraparound: School-based wraparound is a critical part of a 3-tiered PBIS system as it offers a means for a school to succeed with the 1-2% of students whose needs have become so complex that an FBA/BIP process is not enough. The team-based wraparound process is recommended for students with intensive and comprehensive needs to ensure that the efforts of families, teachers, other caregivers and service providers are linked through one consistently implemented and carefully monitored plan. Participants will learn how to facilitate the school-based wraparound process. Real life examples will be provided.
