Positive Intervention Supports. CONTRACTOR shall emphasize the use of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in their program by directly and explicitly teaching social skills, practice with self- regulation, giving specific and contingent reinforcement when they are used and provide constructive re-teaching or correction when behavior errors occur. In addition, PBIS should include increased access to academic supports as means to prevent behavior issues. If problem behaviors are high-risk and/or resistant to secondary intervention practices, the team should develop more focused, intensive and individualized interventions, e.g., a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) by completing a comprehensive function-based behavioral assessment.
