  • Students in Tier 3 
    • experiencing a trauma or crisis situations
    • requiring intensive, emotional and behavioral challenges
    • suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety
    • disruptive behaviors and aggression

The reasons for acting out are typically to gaining attention (adults or peers), escape of a difficult task, or trying to gain access to a preferred activity or item.

PBIS Strategies

  • Sensory Supports: is given in different ways such as pressure, texture, temperature. These supports help individuals regulate their sensory input, creating a more balanced and calming experience. This is why personalization is key. Items such as weighted blankets, fidget toys, or textured cushions can be tailored to meet specific needs, ensuring maximum comfort and usability for those seeking sensory relief.
     
  • Family Involvement: Working together with parents and guardians to make sure they’re part of the process, sharing helpful info, and building awesome partnerships that really work.
