Abstract
This article describes the Treatment Hierarchy Tool (THT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training (DBT-ST), and Behavior Chain Analysis (BCA) as cohesively integrated practices and tools that have the potential to serve students at the tier two and tier three levels of the positive behavior intervention support (PBIS) framework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been adapted and shown to be effective for children and adolescents exhibiting selfregulatory deficits. The article highlights why the current literature related to DBT for children and adolescents lends support to the potential efficacy of DBT informed practices adapted for an educational environment. This paper hypothesizes that DBT informed practices adapted for education are both viable, and emerging evidence-based methods for education professionals to serve the needs of students labeled with, or at risk of being identified as emotionally, and behaviorally disabled (EBD). After a brief description of DBT the author goes on to explain the rationale and the literature that lend support to the potential efficacy of DBT utilized in an educational environment. Implications and practical implementation methods are discussed. The article concludes with the call for more research on practices that holistically addresses the complex and dynamic needs' of students with EBD, while simultaneously serving special education teachers through programmatic integration of these practices.
