** This course will provide the participant with 2 General Learning Type BACB® CEU**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: This course equips school-based behavior professionals and educational teams to provide function-based behavior support across all tiers of MTSS. Participants examine proactive Tier 1 practices, targeted Tier 2 instruction, and individualized Tier 3 supports that build on a strong universal foundation. The course demonstrates how functional assessment, ABC data, and practical interviews can guide interventions matched to behavioral function. Participants also learn to monitor both student response and implementation fidelity when making tier-movement and intervention decisions. Emphasis is placed on feasible data systems, proactive teaching of replacement skills, and collaborative staff coaching that supports consistency and student independence.
