You’ve come to this page from the main page of CPIR’s Resource Collection on Positive Behavior Supports (PBS), Functional Behavioral Assessment, Behavior Intervention Plans, and Discipline. Here, you’ll find a description of:
- how the resource collection was developed;
- the review process and results;
- the Review Team.
____________________________
How was the Collection Developed?
Parent Center product advisors and reviewers identified resources on PBS, functional behavioral assessment, behavior intervention plans, and IDEA’s discipline rules and pooled their results—more than 110 resources. This was the initial “to be reviewed” collection of possibilities.
Before review began | Two screening tools were developed with an ad hoc group of Regional Parent TA Centers (RPTACs) and the Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR), to enable reviewers to have a tool that would provide consistency and guidance as they screened the resources and products.
- The first tool was developed to quickly cull out the resources that didn’t “make the grade.”
- The second tool enabled the reviewer to dig deeper into each resource to determine if it was of sufficient quality, relevance, and usefulness to be used by Parent Centers.

The Review Process and Results
A training was developed and administered on how to use the two screening tools. Feedback was gathered (and will continue to be gathered) on how useful the tools are in providing Parent Center reviewers with a method to screen resources in a consistent manner.
Results of the review | 45 resources emerged from the review process as rated to be of high quality, highly relevant, and highly useful to Parent Centers. Those are the resources that comprise the collection you find here. The Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR) is very pleased to produce it online and host the collection.
