Written as a methods manual for positive behaviour support (PBS) in school settings, this book focuses on practical strategies for the classroom with step-by-step application examples. After an opening chapter that reviews the key literature and concepts related to evidence-based practice in positive behaviour support, the text quickly moves on to a well-organised collection of indispensable tutorials, methods, and applications for teachers written in clear, down-to-earth language and supplemented with real-life examples.
