The mission of Positive Behavior Support-Nevada (PBS-NV) is to enhance the quality of life of Nevadans with challenging behavior through values directed, evidence based instruction, consultation and systemic change. Our goal is to build the capacity of families, schools and community agencies to provide sustainable, meaningful behavior support.

Services are provided statewide to support teams and organizations serving individuals with disabilities as mandated in Nevada statutes*, the Governor’s 10-year Strategic Plan for People with Disabilities, and needs assessments by Nevada’s Developmental Services.

Through partnerships with school districts, community agencies and other stakeholders, PBS-NV provides training and implementation support that focuses on research based preventative strategies. These include program-wide applications, comprehensive team training, parent training, and statewide PBS network support.
