AMSS will be implementing School Wide Positive Behaviour Support or SWPBS.

This initiative builds the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing evidence-informed, school-wide and classroom discipline systems. SWPBS is a combination of effective practices that have proven successful for many children, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.  SWPBS has been shown to increase the effectiveness of instruction time, while making the school conducive to learning. By providing a school-wide approach, comprehensive support is provided to prevent problem behaviour. Procedures are proactive and implemented across all school settings in subject areas, on the grounds, in the halls, on the bus, etc. Evidence-based strategies and and systems to assist schools to:

• decrease problem behaviour

• Increase safety

• Establish a positive school culture

• Increase academic performance
