PBS-NV is a statewide project (trainers are based out of Elko, Las Vegas, and Reno). We provide trainings and individual consultation to families with children with disabilities and challenging behavior. We have a variety of topics including PBS 101, Potty Training, Picky Eating, Routines/Transitions, Communication, and Addressing Challenging Behavior. While these team trainings are targeted at families, teachers and other community professionals are welcome to attend in support of the child. PBS-NV also provides the opportunity for families to have individual in-home or on-site consults with a Behavior Analyst following each workshop to better serve participants and improve quality of life for the family.
