River,
I know I replied to you in email, but since you asked here I wanted to reply here in case anyone wanted to see the reasoning I offer for wanting to move away from the current framing of PBIS.
Beth Tolley probably makes the most compelling argument. Check out her work here: https://endseclusion.org/resea...em-with-behaviorism/
Then after getting into the meat of her work, you want to investigate the work of Dr. Stephen Porges and his PolyVagal Theory - which helps us understand the intervening variable in human behavior between response and stimulus is NOT choice, but physiological state. https://www.stephenporges.com/
Lastly, Dr. Mona Delahooke does a fabulous job in her blogs and in her publication, Beyond Behaviors, for offering a distinction between stress behavior and conscious behavior (in a developmental framework). Definitely check out her work: https://monadelahooke.com/
Thank you for your excellent question...Happy Nerding Out,
Emily
