  1. NH RESPONDS • Intensive Support Team • Tier III Behavioral Intervention • Chamberlain Street School • Rochester, NH

  2. Motivating Concerns: 2010-2011 • Big concern about high frequency of students at risk for flight and escalation to crisis • Urgent need for a systematic response to children in crisis • Need for the creation of a crisis response team • Need to be proactive and preventative with students with intensive needs

  3. What Did We Learn When we Looked at the Response System in 2010-2011? • Primary responders were the building administrators • This left minimal administrative time for the support of other important initiatives and supporting students with lower-urgency concerns • Initial strategies were reactive, rather than proactive • Office referral system and data collection were in need of an overhaul: Need for redefinition of minor and major behavioral concerns

  4. Developing the Crisis Response System • Identify students at risk for flight or escalation • Protocols for the response • Planning involved creation of a school map with stations • Flight response drills • Roll-outs for all staff members to identify what behavioral concerns warrant a teacher response, what behavioral concerns activates the flight response team, and what are the “close-confusers” • Office staff records assistance calls

  5. Considerations when Implementing Tier III for Intensive Behavioral Supports • Space • Data collection • Communication system (cell phones or walkie talkies) • Office cooperation, serves as information hub • Tier III staff needs specialty training (CPI, LSCI, conflict cycle knowledge) • School-wide consensus that this is absolute priority • Designation of an adequate number of personnel to successfully meet the responsibilities of this strategy

  6. More Considerations.... • Choose staff that are flexible, skillful, patient and encouraging • “Buy-in” from staff and from district level administration

  7. Refinement & Restructuring the Tier 3 System • June 2011 brainstorming began: • Recruitment of Intensive Support Team membership • Decisions about what the team will be responsible for and what the team will implement (mission) • Establishment of regular meeting schedule for the upcoming school year

  8. Fall 2011 Efforts • Team process and procedures defined including membership, team mission, roles, action plan log, process for team decision, and agenda development • Tier III CEBIS Self-assessment completed and adopted as a framework for continuing action items • Fidelity of the use and reporting protocols for restraints and safety room with legal guidelines and district policies

  9. Current Efforts • Maintenance of an Intensive Support Log • Coordination of FBAs and BSPs with increased emphasis on the progress monitoring of student behavior • Proactive daily student check-ins, sensory interventions and earned breaks based upon analysis of collected data • Continuing professional development integrated with instructional team meetings in attempting to educate staff to think appropriately about behavioral functions and be more effective with behavioral intervention strategies

  10. Next Steps..... • Expansion of Tier III supports targeting LSCI, wrap-around strategies and coordination of supports with community-based service agencies • Training for general staff related to appropriate response strategies during intensive behavioral incidents • Continued professional development through instructional team meetings targeting CPI verbal mediation strategies and the conflict cycle • Development and implementation of a sustainability plan targeting building and district level supports for the model and the resources to support it • Developing a model that can be replicated in other SAU schools
