About the Center
Positive Behavior Support-Nevada (PBS-NV) has existed in the state of Nevada since 1999
Housed at the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities at the University of Nevada, Reno; and funded by the Fund for a Healthy Nevada (FHN). In 2014, in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Education, PBS-NV was awarded the School Climate Transformation Grant to scale up School-Wide PBIS across the state. In response to the newly awarded funding, PBS-NV restructured, hired new staff, and transformed into the Nevada PBIS Technical Assistance Center, housing distinct projects: PBS-Nevada Family Services, School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS), Facility-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (FWPBIS), the School Climate Transformation Project, customized PBS and PBIS training, and Nevada’s Association for Positive Behavior Support (APBS) Network.
