The Essential Behavior Outcome Skills [EBOS] is a framework of key behavioral skills. The EBOS bridges the gap between analysis and intervention. It assists individuals in the identification of lagging skill(s) so that targeted teaching can take place to build the skills needed for success in life and learning. Children and adults alike do well when they have the skills to do so. The EBOS is a guide that defines a progression of essential skills to be developed in those we support.
