This book, prepared in response to a request from the United States Department of
Education, Office of Special Education Programs, reviews the published literature on
positive behavior interventions and uses this database to provide four main content
areas for research. Positive behavior support (PBS) is defined as an approach for
dealing with problem behavior that focuses on the remediation of deficient contexts
(such as environmental conditions and/or behavioral repertoires) that by functional
assessment are documented to be the source of the problem. The research published on
PBS between 1985 and 1996 (n=107 articles) was reviewed with respect to four
categories of variables: demographics, assessment practices, intervention strategies,
and outcomes. Results indicated that: (1) PBS is widely applicable to people with
serious problem behavior; (2) the field is growing rapidly overall, but especially in
the use of assessment and in interventions that focus on correcting environmental
deficiencies; (3) using stringent criteria of success, PBS is effective in reducing
problem behavior in one-half to two-thirds of cases; (4) success rates nearly double
when intervention is based on a prior functional assessment; and (5) consumer needs
that emphasize comprehensive lifestyle support, long-term change, practicality and
relevance, and direct support for consumers themselves are inadequately addressed by
the research base. Recommendations are made for bridging the research-to-practice
gap.

This paper is designed to help educators understand research findings on promising
interventions for students with a history of behavior problems. It reviews programs
for preventing such problems from recurring among children and adolescents with
chronic antisocial behavior. Findings from the review indicate: (1) assessment of
the student's behavior must be linked with interventions that follow the student
through different placements; (2) multiple interventions are necessary for improving
the behavior of most students; (3) interventions must address not only the problem
behavior but a constellation of related behaviors and contributing factors; (4)
interventions must be sustained and include specific plans for promoting maintenance
over time and generalization; (5) a combination of proactive, corrective, and
instructive classroom management strategies is needed; (6) interventions must be
developmentally appropriate and address strengths and weaknesses of the individual
student and the student's environment; (7) parent education and family therapy are
critical components of effective programs for antisocial children; (8) interventions
are most effective when provided early in life; (9) interventions should be guided by
policies that emphasize positive interventions over punitive ones; and (10)
interventions should be fair, consistent, culturally and racially nondiscriminatory,
and sensitive to cultural diversity.

middle-school students in inclusive classrooms: identify a problem behavior, define
the target, collect baseline data, schedule a conference with the student, select
self-management procedures, teach the student to use self-management procedures,
implement self-monitoring, monitor student progress, and follow-up.

This report summarizes the procedures and results from a 3-year research project
that investigated the reciprocal sequence of interaction behaviors between teachers
and students around disruptive behaviors in general education classrooms. The study
was conducted in six elementary and two middle schools serving relatively large
numbers of students who exhibited disruptive classroom behaviors. Two groups of
students (grades 1-8) served as participants in the present study: target and
criterion students. The 99 target students exhibited high rates of disruptive
behaviors and/or severe forms of such behaviors whereas the 278 criterion students
did not exhibit externalizing behaviors. The study was primarily descriptive in
nature and focused on naturally occurring events in general education classrooms.
Results of the study indicate that the probability of target students complying with
teachers' attempts to correct their disruptive behavior was relatively low; teachers
were more likely to respond to the disruptive behaviors of target students with a
reprimand than in the case of criterion students; target students primarily responded
negatively to teachers' attempts to correct their behaviors; and students were more
likely to exhibit lower rates of disruptive behaviors when teachers were using direct
instruction or effective instruction methods.
