Doubling Down on PBIS: Increasing Our Precision and Implementation on Prevention and Behavioral Science |
|
Whenever a large societal swing occurs, associated shifts in behavior norms and acceptability can also be experienced. The Southern Poverty Law Center, for example, indicated that after the 2016 presidential election, educators “reported that school climate had been negatively impacted…with long-lasting impact.” The purpose of this presentation is to describe how our knowledge and experience with positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) could be considered as an immediate, important, and effective preventive response when dramatic shifts in school and classroom climate are being experienced. We suggest that educators must “double down” now on their PBIS implementation to maintain school and classroom host environments that are safe, respectful, equitable, preventive, and effective for all students. |

Old School Innovation: Collaboration Between Parents and Scientists
|
|
The presentation will introduce concepts of “Family-Centered” research and implications for clinical care. Family and community influences are essential to consider when researching how behavioral healthcare can best benefit children in a school setting, but have not always been adequately taken into account by scientists in the past. Examples of how this can be achieved will be discussed, and the presenter will provide two examples of research involving partnership with parent consumers through a Family Navigator service. |
