Abstract
The societies and cultures considered in this book deliver services and supports for students with SEN in many different ways. Equally so, education systems and their guiding policy and practice are varied. All countries are engaging in behavioural support initiatives and building local staff and school capacity. The blueprint for implementation and capacity building from the PBS movement in the USA provides a proven pathway to integrate existing efforts in learning reform, research on school practice, and training of practitioners. At this stage, it is possible to be optimistic about the spread of these early initiatives in PBS for both individuals and schools across the Asia-Pacific region. However, it is premature to compare case studies, and there is a long road ahead for universities, education systems, and government policy makers in these modern economies to achieve full implementation of PBS with sustainability.
