Behavior experts offer solutions for students who need intensive support

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Solution Tree, a leading educational publisher and professional learning organization, is pleased to announce the release of Behavior Intensives: Individualized Interventions That Work!, written by Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan and John Hannigan, founders of the best-selling Behavior Solutions™ framework. Drawing on their experience helping schools implement the framework, the authors offer a specialized approach for students requiring intensive behavioral support.

When students do not respond to standard Tier 3 behavior interventions, educators need a more targeted approach. Behavior Intensives introduces the 10-day Behavior Intensive Structure, a field-tested process that helps school teams stabilize crises and teach replacement behaviors through individualized, collaborative support.

The book includes practical tools to help teams identify students who need intensive support and develop function-based interventions. Twenty ready-to-use function cards help educators teach replacement behaviors, while real-world scenarios demonstrate how the 10-day framework can be implemented with different student needs. Together, these resources help school teams move from crisis management to confident, systematic action.

Behavior Intensives: Individualized Interventions That Work! is available to order on SolutionTree.com.
