In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Paulie sits down with Dr. Keith Storey—Professor Emeritus, BCBA-D, and lifelong educator—to explore how PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) isn’t just for schools. They break down how the same strategies that support students in classrooms can be used to empower people with disabilities as they transition into adult life and the workforce.
Too often, students with disabilities age out of school and enter “the real world” with minimal support and little preparation for independence. Dr. Storey shares how PBIS strategies can help bridge that gap—creating environments that reinforce dignity, build skills, and increase the likelihood of success in the workplace and beyond.
Topics Covered:
- How PBIS principles apply beyond K-12 to adult employment settings
- Using behavior analysis to increase independence and reduce barriers
- The role of teachers and job coaches in shaping meaningful, dignified employment
- Challenges in applying PBIS and ABA ethically in adult services
- Real examples of successful workplace inclusion
- Why systems-level change is critical to long-term impact
- Treating adults with disabilities as capable contributors, not passive recipients of support
