Association for Positive Behavior Support National Conference
I need to attend the National Conference for the Association of Positive Behavioral Support to learn the latest in specialized behavioral techniques to use with my awesome students!
I teach at a Special Education Center High School for students ages 14-19. Our amazing program is located in Detroit, Michigan. We have three wings that serve students with Autism, Cognitive Impairments, and Severe/Multiple Impairments. We service students from the entire City of Detroit. Our school has 204 beautiful, young people with varying strengths and weaknesses. Their backgrounds are as diverse as their abilities. I have students whose parents are my colleagues and students who live in boarded up houses. Some come from 2-parent homes, and some come from three different homes.
We are all unique, but we are definitely a family here.
My Project
The Association for Positive Behavioral Support has a national conference once a year where Specialists In child behavior can gather to learn the latest in research based practices to best help students with behavioral difficulties be successful in school. Many topics are discussed including recent developments in mental health, juvenile justice, behavioral support and more.
Our students have severe needs and are in the most restrictive educational environment therefore deserve access to the most highly trained staff possible.
This training will keep me up to date so I can best service my students and help them on the path towards healing and return to their home school. I am requesting conference registration, hotel, flight and a food stipend for this amazing conference in Miami and hope you will consider supporting my endeavor. Thank you!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
