Behavior Case Study Going through the Problem Solving Model process March 2011
Today’s Session… • To use a case study approach to follow a case through the different levels of intervention within NHCS’ PSM process • We will read a case, practice using PSM forms to document behavior, and problem solve different interventions of varying intensity

Challenging behavior almost always means something Understanding the behavior helps us change it Challenging behavior and autism Making Sense-making progress Philip Whitaker
What makes it Level 1, 2 or 3 ??? • Level 1 • Involves the practice of teaching and reinforcing students for displaying school-wide expectations and is delivered to every student in every setting. • For 80% of students, this is enough for their success! • Level 2 • Interventions that occur ON TOP of Level 1 interventions, involves interventions that are easy to administer and implement with small groups of students and require limited time and staff involvement. • About 15% of students will need this level of intervention to be successful. • Level 3 • Occur ON TOP of Level 1 AND Level 2 interventions, involves interventions that are developed by a team and include the support of staff outside the general education setting.
