Effective behavior support is achieved through designing supportive environments. However, it is common to overlook the context of implementation when designing support for individuals. This lack of attention to the broader context (e.g., behavior of peers, school resources, capacity of family members to use recommended strategies) may lead to insufficient behavior change and the ultimate failure of behavior support plans. In light of this common error, there has been a contemporary focus on examining the broader context and systems that may support the implementation of effective practices within that broader context. This chapter focuses on the importance of context in individual behavior support and steps to create contexts that support the implementation of effective individual behavior support practices, interventions, and strategies.
