REVIEW>>>>
A BIP or Behavior Intervention Plan, describes how teachers, special educators and other staff will help a child eliminate problem behavior. A BIP is required in an IEP if it is determined in the Special Considerations Section that behavior inhibits academic achievement. |
1. Identify and Name the Problem Behavior The first step in a BIP is to begin the FBA (Functional Behavior Analysis). Even if a Certified Behavior Analyst or Psychologist is going to do the FBA, the teacher will be the person to identify which behaviors most impact a child's progress. It is essential that the teacher describes the behavior in an operational way that will make it easy for the other professionals to complete the FBA.

Special Needs Studentswww.childnow.orgSchool for students with special learning and behavioral needs. End Defiant Teen Behaviorthetotaltransformation.comHighly praised behavioral program for parents of ODD kids. Free Offer 2. Complete the FBA The BIP Plan is written once an FBA (Functional Behavioral Analysis) has been prepared. The plan may be written by the teacher, a school psychologist or a behavior specialist. A Functional Behavioral Analysis will identify target behaviors operationally and the antecedent conditions. It will also describe the consequence, which in an FBA is the thing that reinforces the behavior. See ABC in Special Ed 101. Understanding the consequence will also help choose a replacement behavior. Example: When Jonathon is given a math pages with fractions (antecedent,) he will bang his head on his desk. (behavior) The classroom aide will come and attempt to soothe him, so he doesn't have to do his math page (consequence: avoidance.) 3. Write the BIP Document Your state or school district may have a form you must use for a Behavior Improvement Plan. It, and your BIP should include: * Target Behaviors* Specific, measurable goals * Intervention description and method * Start and frequency of intervention * Method of Evaluation * Persons responsible for each part of the intervention and evaluation * Data from Evaluation 4. Take It to the IEP Team The last step is to get your document approved by the IEP team, including the general education teacher, the special education supervisor, the principal, the psychologist, the parents and anyone else who will be involved in implementing the BIP. A wise special educator has been working to involve each of the stakeholders at the beginning of the process. That means phone calls to parents, so the Behavior Improvement Plan is not a big surprise, and so the parent doesn't feel like they and the child are being punished. Heaven help you if you end up at a Manifestation Determination Review (MDR) without a good BIP and rapport with the parent. Also be sure that you keep the general ed teacher in the loop. 5. Implement the plan Once the meeting is over, it's time to put the plan into place! Be sure that you set a time with all the members of the implementation team to meet briefly and evaluate progress. Be sure to ask the tough questions. What is not working? What needs to be tweeked? Who's collecting the data? How is that working? Be sure you are all on the same page! |

Multiple Disabilities |
|
|
…means having limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that results in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment, that— (a) is due to chronic or acute health problems such as asthma, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis, rheumatic fever, sickle cell anemia, and Tourette syndrome; and (b) adversely affects a child’s educational performance. |
Other Health Impairment |
|
|
…means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. The term does not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities; of intellectual disability; of emotional disturbance; or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage. |
