Positive Behavior Supports is Now Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

Positive Behavior Supports now has a new name—Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports and a new acronym “PBIS”—thanks to a “cease and desist order” from the Public Broadcasting Service. PBS is a trademark of the Public Broadcasting Service, and their organization has determined that the use of “PBS” to describe anything else is too confusing to the public. Therefore, if you work with or refer to Positive Behavior Supports, the new “proper” name to use is Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports or PBIS.
