For decades, research has shown that function-based support is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of problematic student behaviors. One way for schools and districts to implement these supports effectively is by building local capacity to intervene with function-based interventions at the first signs of persistent problem behavior…

A major goal of positive behavior support (PBS) is to produce broad-based, long-term improvements in adaptive behavior; however, the empirical base, at present, is mainly composed of relatively short-term studies carried out in circumscribed contexts. Therefore, a need exists for reliable data that can inform the field regarding the comprehensive…

Horner, Robert H.; And Others – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1990
The original authors (EC 232 976) respond to reactions (EC 232 977-980) concerning their proposals regarding nonaversive behavior management. Noted is the optimistic support for people with severe problem behaviors and the expansion of variables considered when building a support plan. Stressed is the need for nonaversive support technology based…

Sugai, George; Sprague, Jeffrey R.; Horner, Robert H.; Walker, Hill M. – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2000
A study involving 11 elementary and 9 middle schools illustrates how office discipline referrals can be used to indicate the status of school-wide discipline, and how schools can use the information to modify their universal interventions for all students and their targeted interventions for students with severe behavior problems. (Contains…

Freeman, Rachel L.; Horner, Robert H.; Reichle, Joe – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1999
Measures of heart-rate changes before, during, and after problem behaviors of two men with severe mental retardation and multiple problem behaviors were documented. Unique patterns of heart rate and problem behavior were found. Heart rate, identified as an indicator of negative arousal, was associated with higher scores of perceived distress.…

March, Robert E.; Horner, Robert H. – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2002
Functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) were used to develop and implement behavior support plans for three middle school students who were not successful under a check-in, check-out system. Following implementation of function-based support, each participant demonstrated both reduced level of problem behavior and reduced variability in problem…
