_______________________. - ANS-Problem Behavior
Conclusion of Manifestation Determination - ANS-If review suggests that misbehavior is related to student
disability, IEP must conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment to develop a behavior intervention plan.
Indirect Assessment - ANS-Can be used to obtain information about behavior without directly observing the
student.
Direct Assessment is used to - ANS-obtain information about student behavior through first hand
observation of student.
Three tiered approach to PBS - ANS-PBS systems are proactive, they tend to prevent problem behavior
before they occur and address problem behavior before severity intensifies. This approach follows a threetiered system.
Tier One of PBS - ANS-Consists of school wide preventative measures such as making behavior
expectations clear to everyone present at school.
Creating a system of positive reinforcement for desired behavior establishes consequences for undesirable
ones.
Maintains consistency in handling behavior.
Largely focused on prevention.
Tier Two of PBS - ANS-Consists of individual support available to students who have not responded to first
tier measures and currently exhibit problem behavior.
Tier Three of PBS - ANS-Consists of interventions created for individual students whose behavior is
severe.
