Abstract

Given the increase in the number of students receiving behavioral intervention services in public schools, there is a need to understand how to leverage the existing skills of behavior analysts within a Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to prevent and respond to interfering behaviors. We address common questions that educators may have when seeking support for students with interfering behaviors.
