Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

 

Name: Birth date: 

Clinician: Developed:     

Student Strengths: Below are some of XXXXXX strengths as determined by their staff and parents:

● XXX

● XXXX

● XXXX

● XXXXXX

● XXXXXX

 

Target Behaviors:

• Operation definition of the target behavior. 

 

Rationale: The aforementioned target behaviors are target behaviors……….

 

Previous interventions used: Prior to the BIP the following interventions were implemented to decrease the target behaviors: 

 

Baseline data: Describe the data that was collected during FBA (this may be different dependent on what type of FA assessment you used).

 

● Episode frequency: 

 

● Episode duration: 

 

● Episode Intensity: 

 

○ Behavior Intensity Rating Scale:

■ Mild (1): makes inappropriate comments expressing refusal.

■ Moderate (2): makes inappropriate comments to peers/adults about ones’ self or others including but not limited to name calling or putting others down

■ Severe (3): makes inappropriate comments that threaten to harm self or others or causes physical harm to self or others

 

Assessment of Student Preferences for Reinforcement: Based on direct observations, preference assessments, and indirect assessments, possible reinforcers for XXXXXX include: 

● XXXX

● XXXX

 

Setting Events: The following setting events have been observed in the past three months: 

● XXXXX

● XXXXX

 

Precursor Behavior: The following behaviors are “warning signs” that the student demonstrates, that may indicate an increased probability that problem behavior may soon occur:

● XXXXX

● XXXXXX

 

Hypothesized Function: Based on the results of the indirect and direct assessment target behaviors are functioning…………….

 

Proactive Strategies

 

Antecedent (Preventative) Based Strategies:

● For strategies, explain how and when to implement the strategy.

● What will be done to prevent the behavior from occurring? 

 

Alternative/Replacement Behaviors/Skills to train:

● Identify the replacement behavior, (e.g., asking for a break).

● Identify the steps that staff should take to teach and reinforce the replacement behavior, (e.g., create a step-by-step plan for how you want asking for a break to be taught and reinforced).

● Identify the steps that staff should take to maintain the replacement behavior.

 

 Reinforcement (Consequence):

• What type of reinforcement system will be put in place to reinforce appropriate behaviors?

 

 

Reactive Strategies (Consequence)

● Include a step-by-step plan for how staff should respond when the client exhibits the target behavior.

 

Mastery Criteria

 

Short Term Goals 

Behavioral goals to be achieved with 3 months of service:

•

 

Long Term Goals 

Behavior Goals that will demonstrate mastery:

●  

 

Progress Monitoring

 

Data Collection/Measurement Procedures: 

● How will data be collected?

● Who will collect the data?

● What is the frequency of data collection?

 

Schedule for Progress Monitoring:

● Ongoing data collection will occur on a daily basis by classroom staff. 

● The frequency, duration, and intensity of target behaviors will be reviewed biweekly by the IEP teacher, school psychologist, and/or behavior consultant to monitor the plan’s efficacy.

● The transdisciplinary team will meet every 4-6 weeks to discuss elements of the plan including treatment fidelity across school settings and any modifications or revisions necessary to better address Mason’s needs.

 

Coordination with Home: 

● School personnel will communicate the plan’s effectiveness with the parents every biweekly via phone, in writing, or electronic communication.

● Team meetings may be set up with the parents at the school or parent’s request.

Capella Compassion Code

 

• Capella Compassion Code Considerations

o Connect the chosen strategies to the Capella Compassion Code [PDF]. How was the Capella Compassion Code taken into account when determining your strategies and replacement behavior.

o Provide an overall summary of how the chosen strategies are compassionate in nature and demonstrate an ethical practice.

o 2-3 paragraphs
