The Reframing Behaviors strategy grid is designed to help educators brainstorm classroom and school-level supports for students with a wide range of behavioral needs. The grid is inspired by the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), but it can be used in any school, regardless of whether the school uses MTSS. In this framework, there are three levels of support, ranging from supports for all students (level 1) to targeted support for a group of students (level 2) to intensive individual supports (level 3).*

The grid applies the strategies recommended in REEL’s DEAR REEL model** and expands them to consider how they might be implemented for students with varying support needs. It’s important to note that students may require more support in one area than in another, and support needs may vary from one day to the next. In addition, neurodivergent students may have highly asynchronous profiles, where they are significantly behind their peers in certain skills, yet significantly ahead in others. This grid is designed to be a working document that teachers can add to and make notes on.

* While generally aligned with MTSS, the focus of the grid is on varied levels of support and does not necessarily imply small group settings at level 2.
