Positive Behavior Supports

Positive Support Team (Barbie Simpson, Debbie Burrows and Mara Moore)

Behavior Interventions provides support to classroom staff and parents when a child is display inappropriate, disruptive and/or interfering behaviors.  Support usually focuses on proactive and positive interventions in the least restrictive possible manner.  When necessary, formal behavior plans are designed, implemented and
monitored.

In order to provide support for parents and other family members, Behavior Intervention staff is available to make home visits and participate in physician appointments.  Prize Patrol is an integral part of our objective to promote positive and appropriate behaviors in the classroom.  In the classrooms that participate, the children know that if he/she
follows the rules, listens to the teachers and is nice to others, he/she will earn a small prize, sticker and award sheet at the end of each school day.

A second vital component of our department is the School Psychologist.  She is involved in initial evaluations of incoming students and apart of the comprehensive re-evaluation of our present students.  The results of these evaluations are essential for the placement of the student in the most appropriate classroom and development of IEP goals.
