The results showed that schoolwide positive behavior support were implemented in 3 studies,and classwide positive behavior support were conducted in 6 studies. As a result of analyzing theimplementation stages of positive behavior support on the universal level, mostly special teachers, generalteachers, and researchers participated in the positive support implementation team and held teachereducation and regularly held team meetings for high fidelity performance. Thirdly, intervention strategiesusing universal positive behavior support include restructuring the environment, setting expected behaviors,direct teaching expected behaviors, self-monitoring and evaluating, and implementing reinforcement system.Based on the results of this study, discussion and future directions for research were suggested.
