Formation of the ÁùºÏ±¦µä PBISTA Center
Positive Behavior Support -ÁùºÏ±¦µä (PBS-NV) has existed in the state of ÁùºÏ±¦µä since 1999, housed in the ÁùºÏ±¦µä Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED) at the University of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Reno and funded by the Fund for a Healthy ÁùºÏ±¦µä. In 2014, in collaboration with the ÁùºÏ±¦µä Department of Education, PBS-NV was awarded the School Climate Transformation Grant to scale up School-Wide PBIS across the state. In response to the newly awarded funding, PBS-NV restructured by hiring new staff and transformed into the ÁùºÏ±¦µä PBIS Technical Assistance Center, which now houses distinct projects targeted at offering services to schools, families, the community, and also houses the ÁùºÏ±¦µä Association for Positive Behavior Support Network (NV APBS Network).
