Acknowledgements

The Texas Behavior Support Initiative (TBSI) was designed with the support and talent of many individuals whose names do not appear here, but whose hard work and ideas are represented throughout the training modules. These individuals work for the Texas Education Agency, the University of Oregon, Southwest Texas State University, Education Service Centers, and professional organizations in Texas.

Everyone who worked on the development and delivery of the Texas Behavior Support Initiative has made a major contribution to the success of students with disabilities in Texas. This work will build campus level capacity on the use of positive behavior support for students with disabilities and lead to the use of positive behavior supports with all students.
