Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management (BTAM): Best Practices for a Defensible Process and Special Education Considerations

Presented by Internationally-recognized speaker, Dr. Melissa Reeves, https://behavioralthreatassessments.com/about-public-consulting-group/dr-melissa-reeves/

This workshop will discuss how to make your school/district’s BTAM process more legally defensible and the considerations necessary to ensure your threat assessment processes do not violate special education protocols and procedures.

Current research and recommendations will be discussed with an emphasis on the critical importance of establishing multi-disciplinary threat assessment teams, addressing bias, equity, and disproportionality within the BTAM process, and how to address the systemic barriers that complicate information sharing, documentation, follow-up planning and supports, and implementation fidelity.
