Case Studies for Positive Behavior Supports in Classrooms and Schools

by Keith Storey

This book addresses the critical need for highly qualified personnel to work with students that have varying support needs, and provides a framework for analyzing these needs. The exploration of Positive Behavior Supports in this text will serve as a guide to help prepare teachers, teachers in training, and other service providers to adequately support and teach all students. The author writes in a nontechnical style and provides case study examples and guides for assisting readers in analyzing and understanding the appropriate supports and interventions in Positive Behavior Supports. These case studies analyze real life situations that will assist teachers and service providers. The twelve case studies presented in this book contains four cases that offers a complete analysis, and eight cases containing a description of the case with partial analysis components that readers can use for their own education, including courses and/or training purposes. The applicability of the case studies to applied settings and the ability to use the case studies as assignments and/or exams will be beneficial to all teachers and college instructors. General references related to Positive Behavior Supports are provided, including organizations and resources. Empirical research to support that the interventions used in the case studies are evidencebased practices is depicted. Readers will appreciate the provision of a system for teachers, teachers in training, school psychologists, behavior specialists, classroom assistants and others, to analyze inclusion and to understand how supports and instruction can be used to best educate students with disabilities.
