The Santa Rosa Behavior Department understands that all behavior is communication and serves an underlying need. We support students who show challenging behaviors that are impacted by their disability and/or trauma, school environment and current circumstances. The Behavior Assistant Team (BAT) is a group of caring and supportive staff who are self-motivated. They connect with students, implement classroom safety plans, collect behavioral data, teach more acceptable/safe behaviors, and implement reinforcement systems that motivate our students. BATs are provided with training on behavior management, function under the guidance of a Behavior Specialist, and receive group supervision.
