Positive Behaviour Support: A School Wide Model

Matt Wicks, Head of Outreach and Training

This session explores the implementation of a school wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) model in a Special Needs School. We discuss how a setting is assessed for readiness, what steps are required to implement the model including documentation, training requirements and culture changes. The session answers the question of how feasible it is to implement the model in an SEN school and will be relevant to school leaders, behaviour analysts and other professionals involved in interdisciplinary teams in schools.
