BEHAVIOURAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL E...

This book reports on the use of behavioural support ¿ an evidence-based approach developed in
the USA to meet students¿ special educational needs ¿ in Australia and selected thriving Asian
countries. It brings together key issues and insights into how educational policy and practices
in different societies and cultures influence the uptake of behavioural support in schools and
classrooms. The book provides a balanced and highly informative perspective on the historical
paths of development and current expansion of behavioural support into regular schools in the
USA. It also offers insights into the progress of its implementation outside the Western
context of the USA and Europe and its influence on capacity building among professionals within
various contexts across the Asia-Pacific region. Case studies from Australia demonstrate the
effectiveness of multi-tiered behavioural support in a state government education system for a
population of diverse students  and address the resultant adaptation of tiers when it is
implemented in a nongovernment school organisation for students with autism. Case studies from
Singapore  Mainland China  Hong Kong  South Korea and Japan reveal the cultural practices and
organisational issues that produce distinctive characteristics of behavioural support in
inclusive and special education within these countries. This book offers essential guidance to
educational decision-makers in these countries and communities around diverse students in
considering their next steps towards using behavioural supports proposed in the American
blueprints for implementing and building capacity for use in any context.
