Students may require different types of intervention delivered in different ways along a continuum of care - from prevention to intensive individual support to best meet their needs.
The continuum of care includes interventions for:
- all students - creating a safe and respectful learning environment
- some students - providing early intervention and targeted support for students at risk of developing negative behaviours
- a few students - supporting students with complex and challenging behaviour needs through intense, individual interventions.
