Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether proactive interventions based on the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) can be implemented in the UK to increase academic engagement, decrease disruptive behaviour, and eliminate the need for restrictive practices in alternative settings. This investigation took the form of the application of School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) (Sugai & Horner, 2015) to multiple primary schools in North Wales, supporting teachers in those primary schools to use positive tactics at the individual classroom level, and the explicit teaching and reinforcement of emotional, social, and academic skills in an early years Pupil Referral Unit (PRU).
