The redesign of the Averted School Violence (ASV) website and enhanced database marks a major milestone in our ongoing effort to strengthen school safety through prevention. Like any website transformation, this project brought together big-picture goals and a deep sense of purpose.

I am proud to announce that Safe and Sound Schools, in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), has launched BTAM & ASD: An e-Guide for Assessing Students on the Autism Spectrum, a new resource equipping educators and practitioners to administer behavioral threat assessment management (BTAM) for special needs students with confidence and fidelity.  

As part of our ongoing mission to support school crisis prevention, response, and recovery, we're committed to keeping our community informed, engaged, and supported with the latest resources for comprehensive school safety.
