Behavior Support for Students with Disabilities in Inclusive Classrooms
Behavior Support for Students with Disabilities in Inclusive Classrooms is a 4-module, 16-lesson asynchronous professional development course designed for general educators, special educators, school psychologists, and administrators in inclusive settings.
Built on the principle that behavior is communication, the curriculum gives educators a research-grounded, relationship-centered framework for understanding and responding to challenging behavior.
The four modules follow the rhythm of the school year:
1. Behavior as Communication — functions of behavior, classroom design, reinforcement, functional assessment
2. Peer Relationships, EF, Dysregulation & Motivation — social dynamics, executive functioning, emotional regulation
3. Academic Avoidance, Social Strains & Oppositional Behavior — escape-maintained behavior, ODD, EF-based interventions
4. The Home Stretch — end-of-year transitions, event preparation, sustaining engagement
