The intention for the Behavior Support Community of Practice (CoP) is to engage in common learning, network, and collaborate to build community among individuals who hold similar roles. This CoP is designed for staff who serve in the role of a Behavior Interventionist, Behavior Coach, Behavior Strategist, etc.
