Department: Dean’s Office
The Graduate Certificate in Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is designed for educators, school or mental health administrators, school psychologists, social workers, school counselors, and behavioral health staff who want to specialize in an evidence-based approach to resolving challenging behavior and supporting the prosocial behavior of children and youth within schools and early education settings.
Courses teach the behavior skills needed to contribute to the development of intensive, individual behavior support and the collaboration skills necessary to make them an effective member of a positive behavior support team and allow students to develop knowledge and expertise either in school‐wide (K‐12) or program‐wide (early childhood) Positive Behavior Support (PBS). For more information, visit the PBS Certificate Program website. The PBS Graduate Certificate is a program offered as part of the Florida Center for Inclusive Communities (FCIC), a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. Participants in the program are FCIC trainees with access to local and national resources.
