Abstract

This paper examines the origin, application and efficacy of positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) which has been widely used in the United States over the past two-decades as an evidence-based practice to address the behavior support needs of children and youth (Horner and colleagues, 1990). Though the origins of PBIS grew from the desire to provide non-aversive behavior supports to persons with disabilities, the use of these practices evolved into a three-tiered model of delivery aimed at primary, secondary and tertiary prevention and intervention. These practices have been demonstrated to be effective for all students, as research evidence has affirmed. The authors address the application of the PBIS model from a theoretical perspective and explore the practical utility of this methodology within the educational framework of Poland.
