Join us for a two-day training focused on developing and implementing Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) for students with significant behavioral needs.
This session will explore key components of the FBA/BIP process, including how to conduct formal behavior assessments, write effective plans, and implement strategies that reduce time out of instruction and increase student engagement.
Designed for school teams and personnel supporting students with intensive behavior needs, this training is ideal for general education staff, special education staff, counselors, school psychologists, administrators, related service providers, and outside agency partners. This training is especially beneficial for LEAs or districts that have received federal identification for disproportionality in student identification or discipline.
FBA/BIP supports are among the most individualized interventions schools offer. These data-driven plans often address behavioral and academic goals to help students succeed in the classroom while reducing the risk of disproportionality in identification and discipline.
Participant Outcomes:
To understand the regulations and best practices for Functional Behavior Assessments
To understand what supports should be available for all students
To understand the purpose of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and develop a student-specific FBA including:
To understand, define and measure contextually inappropriate behavior
To understand the function of behavior and use a hypothesis based on data to create an Action Plan
To create a Behavior Intervention Plan based on the function of a behavior
To create a plan to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of a Behavior Intervention Plan
