We studied the effects of combining positive behavior supports and person-centered planning on problem behavior and general education participation. Three students—one receiving special education services and two who were at risk for more restrictive placements-participated in a school team-based assessment and intervention process. Assessments focused on students’ strengths, interests, and support needs, along with possible social and biological causes of problem behavior. Schoolwide interventions, based on this expanded functional assessment approach, were implemented in teams composed of general educators, special educators, and school administrators. Results indicated that two of the three students increased or maintained high levels of general education participation and showed decreases in problem behavior. For a third student, poor implementation of the support plan was associated with increases in problem behavior and decreases in general education participation. Interrelations between operant function, support plan implementation fidelity, and student success are highlighted, along with a discussion of linking positive behavior supports and person-centered planning for students with and without disabilities.
