Designing and implementing a BIP in response to a student demonstrating “repeated inappropriate behaviour” is one of the requirements of Durack State School as outlined in the Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students (Education Queensland, n.d., p. 3). Following the referral to the Special Needs Team by Louise’s teacher, data collected through a FBA has been used to inform the creation of the BIP (see Appendix A) (Scott, Anderson & Alter, 2012). A BIP is a written document that describes what will be done to decrease problematic student behaviour and increase desired behaviour (SPE 3005, Module 4, 2016).

When outlining the skills that will be taught to the student it is important to include what will be taught, how it will be taught and who will teach it (Scott et al., 2012).

Involving Louise’s mother as much as possible in the BIP process is important as parents are recognised as the most important stakeholder (Porter, 2014). Parents are very influential in their children’s lives and their contribution of both information and support in the behaviour intervention process benefits the teacher, the parent and the student (Heward, 2014, as cited in SPE 3005, Module 5, 2016, p. 6; Porter,
