Formation of the Nevada PBISTA Center
Positive Behavior Support -Nevada (PBS-NV) has existed in the state of Nevada since 1999, housed in the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED) at the University of Nevada, Reno and funded by the Fund for a Healthy Nevada. 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 by hiring new staff and transformed into the Nevada PBIS Technical Assistance Center, which now houses distinct projects targeted at offering services to schools, families, the community, and also houses the Nevada Association for Positive Behavior Support Network (NV APBS Network).
