Project Description:

The purpose of this project is to reduce the unnecessary and dangerous seclusion and restraint among students with developmental disabilities. This project will do that by building the capacity in Arizona to support lEAs in their own efforts to train staff in Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). This will result in positive school climates, help schools make data-based decisions abouty how they manage behavior, and ultimately reduce the use of dangerous and unnecessary seclusion and restraints. This proposal will bring together and coordinate the existing state resources in PBIS and use the strengths of the state Developmental Disabilities Network. The anticipated outcome of this project is to create a lasting system of state leadership that will increase the number of LEAs that use the best practices established by PBIS.
