JACC is a Tier 3 Positive Behavior Support (PBS) Model designed to determine what is effective support for children, youth, families and those supporting them.  JACC is research based focusing on building capacity of service providers and caregivers.  PBS is a collaborative, assessment-based process to develop an effective and individualized approach for a child or youth with challenging behaviors. 

PBS has three components:

  1. Functional Behavioral Assessment
  2. Comprehensive Intervention
  3. Lifestyle Enhancement
