Reducing Behaviors and Staff Turnover in Lynchburg, Virginia Public Schools

Case Study

Lynchburg VA

The flexibility of the IDS support ensures that the program is individualized to the school, classroom, and individual student needs, while also supporting school wide initiatives.

Rivermont Schools' (Rivermont) partnership with Lynchburg City Public Schools (Lynchburg Schools) in Virginia, was developed to support students with autism spectrum disorder (autism), behavioral, and emotional challenges, as well as students in the general education setting, providing them with the tools and knowledge to succeed in their public school classroom.

Anchored in the Multi Tiered Systems of Support model, New Story staff utilized ABA Therapy techniques and strategies in tandem with positive behavior supports to help students learn to manage their behaviors, gain critical skills, and make progress against their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals. All interventions were developed in close partnership with Lynchburg School leaders and educators to enhance and enrich the learning environment and support instructional staff with additional tools.
