The Intervention Specialist (IS) Program was established by Ann Arbor Public Schools in 2013 to improve students' overall academic success.  The IS team uses a holistic approach to child development, which includes positive behavior support, management and restorative practices. In addition to a wide range of academic support services, students are provided opportunities to engage in their communities, explore career options, and work in teams to solve problems effectively.

The Intervention Specialists provide interventions and strategies to students to give them the skills and tools to increase positive appropriate behavior.
