Welcome to KIPBS

The Kansas Institute for Positive Behavior Support (KIPBS) at the University of Kansas was established November, 2001 in collaboration with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) to create statewide training in positive behavior support (PBS). Professionals in the fields of developmental disabilities, mental health, and child welfare who complete this training are eligible to bill Medicaid for PBS services.

The mission of the Kansas Institute for Positive Behavior Support is to:

• Train professionals who will facilitate individual PBS and PCP planning within their regions;
• Create a unified network of professionals who use systems change strategies to embed PBS and PCP processes into their organizations;
• Provide Kansans with access to a variety of online resources and materials free of charge; and
  
• Facilitate state-wide and organization-wide planning processes to increase the effectiveness of individual PBS and PCP plans.
