Recenzje

"Many schools and districts have a solid foundation for implementing tiered systems of support, but are seeking a standardized process for Tier 3--specifically, a process for developing FABI plans. Look no further! This book provides valuable resources, insights, and practical steps forward. Jump in and check out the research-validated tools and step-by-step process to support children with intensive intervention needs."--Lisa J. Powers, PhD, Department of Special Education, University of Missouri–Columbia

"This indispensable resource is theoretically and empirically grounded as well as highly practical and accessible for preservice and inservice educators and behavior analysts. The authors provide an effective, step-by-step approach to facilitate high-fidelity interventions that promote positive and prosocial behavioral outcomes. The authors explain complex behavior analytic principles and illustrate them with authentic school-based examples. The book is unique in situating FABI within a comprehensive, integrated, three-tiered model of prevention, as part of a full continuum of supports."--Wendy Peia Oakes, PhD, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University

"Umbreit and colleagues provide a comprehensive, accessible overview of their five-step FABI model. The book includes a wealth of practical tools and implementation guidance. This is an integral resource for anyone providing intensive intervention for students engaging in challenging behaviors."--Eric Alan Common, PhD, BCBA-D, Department of Education, University of Michigan–Flint

"This book crafts a roadmap for implementers and includes helpful examples, descriptions, tools, and checklists. The authors emphasize equitable, culturally responsive, and strength-based approaches that center the student and family and value the community. Unpacking the components of FABI, this is an essential resource for anyone responsible for supporting students with intensive needs across general and special education settings. This excellent book will enhance the training and technical assistance we provide to schools, districts, regional educational service centers, and state education agency staff. It is a preeminent resource to support and extend the learning of practitioners at any level."--Kelcey Schmitz, MSEd, Director of Training and Technical Assistance, School Mental Health Assessment, Research, and Training (SMART) Center, University of Washington-
