Positive behavior runs in our family
Positive behavior can bring many benefits—among them, improved academic success for an individual student, fewer distractions in the classroom for the teacher, and reduced dependence on disciplinary and other special resources for the school.
The BASC-2 family offers a comprehensive, integrated system that helps you identify and manage behavioral and emotional strengths and weaknesses in children and young adults—and incorporates the perspectives of parents, teachers, and the students themselves.
Building on the well-respected work of Cecil Reynolds, PhD, and Randy Kamphaus, PhD, and introducing Kimberly J. Vannest, PhD, as the lead author of the new intervention materials, the BASC-2 expands the instrument’s power in RTI and positive behavior support environments.
