Individual Child Selection Process • Classroom staff complete: • Child Selection Checklist • Request for Assistance form • Referral form
Individual Child Selection Checklist • Child with a repeated pattern of behavior (occurs every day or several days a week) over at least 2-3 weeks. The challenging behavior: • causes injury or potential injury to self (e.g., biting self, running out of class) • causes injury to others (e.g., hitting, biting) • damages the physical environment or materials (e.g., knocks over shelves, throws toys and breaks them) • interferes with teaching or learning (e.g., screaming, refusal to participate in activities) • socially isolates the child (e.g., making loud noises, hand flapping)
Individualized PBS WorkshopLearner Outcomes • Identify the criteria to determine the need for Individualized PBS • Become familiar with the five steps of the Individualized PBS process and the role of team members • Identify the next steps if a child in your classroom needs Tier 3 interventions
