The primary goal of PBSI is to promote positive behavior and reduce challenging behavior in individuals with disabilities. This is done through the use of positive reinforcement, functional analysis, and other strategies.

Punishment is not a component of PBSI. PBSI focuses on promoting positive behavior and reducing challenging behavior through positive reinforcement, functional analysis, and other strategies.

The purpose of a functional analysis in PBSI is to identify the function of challenging behavior. This information is used to develop a behavior intervention plan that is tailored to the individual's needs.

Praise is an example of a positive reinforcement strategy. Positive reinforcement involves providing a positive consequence after a desired behavior occurs in order to increase the likelihood of the behavior occurring again.

Antecedent interventions are strategies that are used to change the environment or situation to reduce the likelihood of challenging behavior occurring. This may involve things like changing the physical environment, providing prompts, or teaching new skills.

A token economy system is an example of a behavior intervention plan. A token economy system is a system in which individuals earn tokens for desired behaviors, which can then be exchanged for desired items or activities.

Data collection is important in PBSI in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a behavior intervention plan. Data can be collected on the frequency, duration, and intensity of challenging behavior, as well as the occurrence of desired behaviors.

Time-out is an example of a restrictive intervention. Restrictive interventions are strategies that involve removing a person from a situation or activity, or restricting their access to certain items or activities.

Collaboration is important in PBSI in order to involve the individual with disabilities, their family, their teachers, and other stakeholders in the development and implementation of their behavior intervention plan.

Antecedent interventions are an example of a proactive strategy in PBSI. Proactive strategies are strategies that are used to prevent challenging behavior from occurring in the first place.

Ongoing monitoring and evaluation is important in PBSI in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a behavior intervention plan. This may involve collecting data on the frequency, duration, and intensity of challenging behavior, as well as the occurrence of desired behaviors.

Time-out is an example of a reactive strategy in PBSI. Reactive strategies are strategies that are used to respond to challenging behavior after it has occurred.

Positive reinforcement is used in PBSI to promote positive behavior. Positive reinforcement involves providing a positive consequence after a desired behavior occurs in order to increase the likelihood of the behavior occurring again.

Teaching a new skill is an example of a functional analysis-based intervention. Functional analysis-based interventions are strategies that are designed to address the underlying function of challenging behavior.

Cultural sensitivity is important in PBSI in order to ensure that PBSI strategies are effective for individuals from all cultural backgrounds, to avoid using strategies that are offensive or harmful to individuals from certain cultural backgrounds, and to promote understanding and respect for diversity.
