My entire educational learning process and endeavors spent in the public-school districts. As a young man with several learning disabilities during my early elementary and middle school matriculation, I would contently find myself off task during academic’s activities. While being off task in a classroom environment, this would cause a disturbance around other students who were working on their assignments. The ultimate end to this sad performance was either get put out of the classroom or escorted  to the principal`s office.

One day in an elementary classroom setting, I am returning to school after the Thanksgiving break. My teacher set alongside me in class. My teacher said, James, if you stay on task today, I have a reward for you, but if you get off task, you cannot receive it. Yes, I stay on task all that day completing the academic seat work and looking at the clock. You`re right; I did earn the reward. You see, my teacher’s Positive Behavior Support Program not only helped me but also with other students that were in that classroom on a smaller scale. You can imagine how significant this Positive Behavior Support Program can be beneficial for teachers and students.
