The PBIS structure is deconstructed with fail-proof system that truly bridges the knowledge-implementation gap. The book introduces and explains with thorough assessments, examples for implementation, actions to consider, identified red flags, and specific challenges from the field with corresponding practical solutions. Every PBIS team needs a copy of this text."
