Mission
The mission of the Division of Special Education Behavior Support Department is to provide positive behavioral support to the students, staff, and families of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) using a prevention, intervention, and postvention model.
PREvention support is provided to ensure access to the educational environment prior to a student being assessed for special education supports and services.
INTERvention support is provided to ensure that students are receiving Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) in accordance with their IEP.
POSTvention support is provided to ensure that access to the educational environment continues when a student no longer needs special education supports and services.
