Mainstay Academy has embraced PBIS as a process - something we do in community as a community. When engaged in this positive, proactive process, our students with Severe Emotional Behavior Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and mental illness are provided with opportunities to collaboratively identify and solve problems, to evaluate and learn about human behavior, and to master and teach proactive, positive social skills. Student involvement promotes the concept and experience of shared positive culture and assists in building a more tolerant and supportive community within and beyond the school
