Each year numerous school-aged youth with and without disabilities are arrested and incarcerated. For those youth with disabilities who are ages 16 or older, it is mandated under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that they receive transition planning and services. For those youth who will be transitioning back into a school environment where that school implements three-tiered supports using the positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) framework, PBIS may be used to structure the educational component of the youth's transition plan. PBIS is a proactive and preventative three-tiered framework designed to meet the needs of all students through a consistently and equitably applied discipline approach. An illustrative example of how this may be accomplished for a youth transitioning from a long-term, secure juvenile justice facility to a new neighborhood school is provided.
