****


These are steps of what?



- taking a detailed functional behavior assessment summary of the student.

BIP Plan

Frequency in a BIP refers to what?

- how many times the behavior occurs in the morning, afternoon, evening


- does it occur during lunch, group time...


- note when the behavior is less frequent and when it is most likley to occur

Duration when creating a BIP refers to what?

- how long the behavior takes place by TIMING THE BEHAVIOR from start to finish

Of the various factors that contribute to delinquency and anti-social
behavior, which has been found to be the weakest?
(Rigorous) (Skill 1.9)

Teaching Positive Behavior is what system/intervention/plan?

Behavior Intervention Plan



BIP

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.



What are the steps to a BIP?


1. Identify & Name the Problem Behavior


2. Complete the FBA


3. Write the BIP Document


4. Take It to the IEP Team


5. Implement the plan


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.

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!

.....is a meeting which must take place within 10 days of a behavior infraction that would cause a student to be removed from their current placement in a public school for more than 10 days.



- held to determine if the behavior is due to the child’s disability

not cover all exceptional children. The Gifted and Talented Children’s Act, P. L.
95-56 was passed in 1978.

IDEA has 14 categories for those with disabilities. What are they?

* Autism
* Deaf-blindness
* Deafness
* Developmental delay
* Emotional disturbance
* Hearing impairment
* Intellectual disability
* Multiple disabilities
* Orthopedic impairment
* Other health impairment
* Specific learning disability
* Speech or language impairment
* Traumatic brain injury
* Visual impairment, including blindness

According to IDEA a child whose disability is related to being deaf and
blind may not be classified as:
(Rigorous) (Skill 1.11)
a. Multiple Disabilities
b. Other Health Impaired
c. Mentally Retarded
d. Visually Impaired

Answer: a. Multiple Disabilities

…means concomitant [simultaneous] hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for children with one disability

Deaf-Blindness

…for children from birth - 3 and children from ages 3-9 the term means a delay in one or more of the following areas: physical development; cognitive development; communication; social or emotional development; or adaptive [behavioral] development.

Developmental Delay

…means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and that adversely affects a child’s educational performance:


(a) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.


(b) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.


(c) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances.


(d) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.


(e) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.


The term includes schizophrenia. The term does not apply to children who are socially maladjusted

Emotional Disturbance

…means significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning, existing concurrently [at the same time] with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance.

Intellectual Disability

…means [simultaneous] impairments, the combination of which causes such severe educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in a special education program solely for one of the impairments. The term does not include deaf-blindness.

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.

Regular
Education Intervention or Inclusion

Which of the following statements was not offered as a rationale for REI?
(Rigorous) (Skill 2.2)
a. Special education students are not usually identified until their
learning problems have become severe
b. Lack of funding will mean that support for the special needs children
will not be available in the regular classroom.
c. Putting children in segregated special education placements is

What is the CSE?

THE COMMITTEE ON SPECIAL EDUCATION (CSE)



"THE IEP TEAM"



- is a multidisciplinary team, appointed by the Board of Education.



-determines eligibility


- develops IEP's


- Meets annually (IEP)


- Members appointed by the Board of Education (administrators, etc. )

ECHA?

Education for All Handicapped Children Act

- The integrated response encompasses what?

....all possible resources including the resources in the community such as the student, his/her parents, the teacher and community resources.

Section 504 differs from the scope of IDEA because its main focus is on:
(Rigorous) (Skill 2.3)
a. Prohibition of discrimination on the basis of disability.
b. A basis for additional support services and accommodations in a
special education setting.
c. Procedural rights and safeguards for the individual.
d. Federal funding for educational services.

a. Prohibition of discrimination on the basis of disability.

Rationale: Section 504 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

To be entitled to protection under Section 504, the indiv. must be a person w/a disability.



The indiv. must be otherwise qualified. What does this mean?


the person must be able to meet the requirements of a particular program in spite of his or her disability.

Section 504 requires that schools do not discriminate & provide reasonable accomodations in all programming aspects.



What are the differences between 504 and IDEA?

Section 504 assists w/other categories of children that are not covered for SpEd under IDEA.



The major differences are the flexibility of the procedures. IDEA has federal specific requirements. 504 is more broad.



- IDEA covers disabilities from (from ages 3 to 21) only with education.


- Section 504 covers the lifespan and safeguards the rights of persons with disabilities in many areas of their lives, including employment, public access to buildings, transportation, and education.
