What's Required
State and federal special education guidelines are changing the way schools are expected to support students with behavior challenges. The Texas Behavior Support Initiative (TBSI) is the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) response to federal regulations such as the Individual with Disabilities Improvement Act and No Child Left Behind and state regulations, including Senate Bill 1196, TAC 89.1053 and the TEC Chapter 37, regarding research-based practices and standards school districts may employ when addressing challenging student behaviors.
