Understanding Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)

Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)

Formal plan addressing behavior functions and promoting positivity.

Purpose of BIP

Supports students with consistent behavior problems.

Targeted Behaviors

Maladaptive behaviors defined for observation and intervention.

Hypothesized Functions

Explains 'why' behavior occurs based on FBA data.

Baseline Data

Data collected before BIP implementation for comparison.

Targeted Behavior Graphs

Visuals showing trends in targeted behaviors over time.

Replacement Behavior Goals

SMART goals serving same function as targeted behaviors.

Behavior Reduction Goals

Aims to decrease maladaptive behavior's frequency or intensity.

Intervention Strategies

Methods to modify behavior through antecedents and consequences.

Antecedent Strategies

Preventive methods to reduce unwanted behaviors proactively.

Consequence Strategies

Methods to alter reinforcement for maladaptive versus desired behaviors.

Teaching Strategies

Methods to reinforce positive behaviors in educational settings.

Progress Monitoring Plan

Details data collection and review schedule for BIP.

Importance of Following BIP

Legal requirement supporting student needs and IEP compliance.

SMART Goals

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound objectives.

Four Functions of Behavior

Sensory, escape, attention, and tangible motivations for behavior.

3-Step Guided Compliance

Consequence strategy to promote compliance with requests.

Functional Communication Training (FCT)

Teaching method to improve communication and reduce behaviors.

Premack Principle

Antecedent strategy using preferred activities as reinforcement.

Choice Making

Antecedent strategy allowing students to choose activities.

Redirection

Consequence strategy to shift focus from maladaptive behavior.

Extinction

Consequence strategy to eliminate reinforcement for unwanted behavior.

Behavior Contract

Agreement outlining behavior expectations and consequences.
