Co-Ser 530

The Behavioral Support Services at Ulster BOCES are designed to provide tiered interventions ranging from individual students to the entire school system. These supports are proactively crafted to offer short- and long-term solutions to assist with different behavioral challenges. The services offered are provided by a Board Certified Analyst (BCBA) and licensed school social workers who can serve as liaisons, offering wrap-around services between the district, home, and community resources. The main components of these services include a review of records, behavioral observations, written intervention plans for both classrooms and students, implementation training, support, data collection, and analysis. The base service includes three sessions of professional learning. Each session is three hours.

Possible Professional Learning Options

• Workshops with adult learners or students
• TA specific trainings
• Parent engagement
• Community engagement
• Student anti-bullying workshops 
• Culturally responsive practices
• Universal Design for Learning

Districts must participate in the base services to access Tier 2 or 3 add-ons.
