Workshop Description of " Disobedient, Disruptive,

Defiant, and Disturbed Students: Behavioral Interventions for Challenging

Students "

This interactive presentation focuses on how to

establish the effective school-wide Positive Behavioral Support

(PBS)/Discipline, Behavior Management, School Safety systems (Tier 1) in all

schools that increase students' prosocial skills, academic engagement, and

academic achievement. Using this PBS foundation, Strategic (Tier 2) and

Intensive (Tier 3) interventions to assist challenging students who are

behaviorally unsuccessful or non-responsive then are described.

How to specifically plan, implement, and evaluate

Tier 2 behavioral interventions are especially emphasized over the two-day

session. They will be organized to address the need to: (a) Increase or

Establish New Student Behaviors; ( Decrease or Eliminate Inappropriate Student

Behaviors; © Teach Attention and Engagement Skills; (d) Teach Social,

Self-Management, and Self-Control Skills; (e) Increase Student Motivation; and

(f) Address Teasing, Taunting, Bullying, Harassment, and Physical

Aggression/Fighting. The specific interventions discussed will be

evidence-based, teacher-friendly, and field-tested.

This workshop will provide case examples as

appropriate. For each intervention, the following information will be provided:

(a) Problem Situations where the Intervention is most-used or most useful; (

functional assessment outcomes that necessarily link to make this intervention

relevant; © the Age Levels where the Intervention will be most successful; and

(d) the Severity Level of the Student and/or Problem where the Intervention will

be most successful.

Learning Objectives:

1. To recognize the interdependence of student,

teacher, instructional, curriculum, and other " environmental factors " that must

be considered when implementing interventions.

2. To understand the evidence-based Positive

Behavioral Support System that provides the preventative " anchor " to behavioral

intervention.

3. To understand how to organize a number of

behavioral interventions for strategic and intensive need students.

4. At the prevention level, the importance of

teaching social skills and the behavioral principles underlying skill-based

training.

5. At the strategic and intensive intervention

level, behavioral interventions for those students who are having difficulty

mastering or choosing not to demonstrate specific desired behaviors, and for

those students who demonstrate particularly intense, resistant, and/or

significantly disruptive behavior.
