...Summary: Collaboration is important among educators and support staff to understand the source of negative behavior of students with disabilities. These individuals need to work together to collect data and document the events before, during, and after the behavior is recorded. Once the possible triggers for behaviors are discussed, a behavior intervention plan can be implemented. Reinforcements can be used to help promote the student to not produce the behavior and also to help them to communicate their needs in an appropriate manner. Main Ideas: What is a functional behavior analysis (FBA), who should participate in creating this documentation, how to document student's behaviors using a FBA (Antecedent, Consequence, Student's Reaction,...

...This Behavior Intervention Plan was completed in conjunction with the Function Behavior Assessment (FBA) during my clinical practice at the high school level. As, I beginning to implement this behavior intervention plan (BIP), I provided 5- days of observation in the Resource classroom to gather information on MK. By examining the information in my FBA, I was able to recognize a pattern and create an intervention plan with a goal to increase MK’s on task behavior. A portion of my data collection for the FBA, I spent 54 minutes for 5 consecutive days observing the student in the classroom environment this ensured that I able to gain authentic information about the student and determine what was causing the behavior. Throughout the observations process, I was able to find a pattern in the student’s behavior. When independence tasks were assigned for the MK to complete, he would engage in off-task behaviors that would result in disrupt behaviors. When this happened, MK would receive attention from staffs and peers. When I completed the 5-days of observations I was then able to reflect on the data and create a BIP to help...

...Positive Behavior Support Plan IEP Beckie Johnson Concordia University Classroom Management for Students with Special Needs Positive Behavior Support Plan IEP The purpose of this paper is to discuss Sean Bruner’s, a Clark County School District student, positive behavior intervention support plan (BIP). Sean is a severely emotionally challenged high school student. He has had an IEP for the majority of his school years and has had a BIP ever since he transitioned into high school. The MDT’s hope is that a successful BIP will rectify all of Sean’s negative classroom behavior and allow him to show positive academic growth for the remainder of his school years. In 1997 Congress amended the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The only approach which considered the behavioral aspect within the law was the positive behavioral interventions and supports. These interventions utilized both functional assessment and positive proactive approaches or methods to promote good behavior ("School wide," 2013). In the past students with disabilities were not included in all the available educational opportunities because of their inability to control their inappropriate behaviors. In 2004, IDEA was amended a second time due to congressional realization that positive behavior intervention support helps prevent exclusion and improve academic results ("School wide," 2013). Now, positive behavior interventions and supports promote positive school environment for all...

...“Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan” Wendell Franklin Grand Canyon University SPE - 522 TEM 101 Dr. Brenda Combs The 1997 Reauthorization of the IDEA made Functional Behavior Assessment very important because it mandates “the use of Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan to address chronic and excessive problem behaviors” (Wheeler & Richey, 2014). It says in Sec. 1414(d) (3) (B) (i), that: “In the case of a child whose behavior impedes his or her learning or that of others, the child’s IEP team must consider, when appropriate, strategies, including positive behavior intervention strategies and supports to address that behavior” (Wheeler & Richey, 2014) The reason that the Functional Behavior Assessment and the Behavior Support plan where put in action to help the individuals that have special needs that also present challenging behaviors. The Functional Behavior Assessment also the Behavior Support Plan main goal is to gain an understanding of the behaviors that are being displayed, determine the factors that may reinforce their occurrences along with the function of the behavior. Since the establishment of the Functional Behavior Assessment and the Behavior Support Plan several definitions and factors for considerations where added to what constitutes impeding behavior. The learning of the children is not only affected by impeding behavior as well as other students could be included in the behaviors that are inclusive...

...service department of a company to write my report, I do know from my own experience some things pertaining to programs that employ behavioral or genitive intervention and or models. In this paper I will attempt to explore some areas within a cognitive intervention such as: • What population participates in the program? • Who presents the program? • How the effectiveness of the intervention is measured • How do they determine a need for the program? • Do they have plans for other programs that use behavioral models and techniques? • What other models and theories are represented in their programs. As we look into the population of participants, it ranges based on the type of behavior being addressed, intervention and motivation strategies. Last year, when I attended my counseling session, it was held in a group session with different people of all ages. This particular group session addressed issues of anxiety and depression. I quickly learned that many people have issues with anxiety and depression, yet they are hesitant to get counseling to change the behavior. Although some may want the help, they often have the fear of having to take medication to alter the behavior without realizing that there are other methods to correcting a behavior. Over time, through educating more people about behavioral intervention, the population of participants may increase. The people presenting the program, weather in a group or individual setting, are therapists or people...

...Abstract In this action research project the researcher talked to several teachers discussing the concerns they had in education. Most teachers cited discipline in the schools as the concern they most worry about in their classrooms. I researched several articles where schools have implemented School Wide Positives Behaviors intervention Supports (SPBIS) were put into place schools showed a decrease in discipline and an increase in academic achievement. In this action cycle we implemented the first intervention to see what significant data could be reviewed. Steps in Action Research Educators use action research just about every day they are working with students. The educator could be teaching a lesson or looking a class discipline you are using action research without realizing it. The steps in action research are: Identification of the problem area, Collection and organization of data, Interpretation of data, the action based on the data, and finally reflection (Ferrance, 2000). The first step in action research is to identify the problem. If there is a discipline problem in the classroom, the first question may be why? What is causing the inappropriate behavior? Is the problem something that the educator can help solve? When choosing where to begin in your research the educator will need to ask himself several questions. The questions should higher-order in nature. The questions should be stated in common language, avoiding education jargon. The questions should be concise...

Not only did the results show that FCT with the added component of punishment was more effective than either FCT alone, or FCT with extinction, it also demonstrated a clear preference by the children for the FCT with punishment. The punishment phase consisted of a 30-second hands down procedure involving physically holding the participant’s hands to their sides for both participants, with the addition of a visual screen through placement of the therapist’s hand over the participant’s eyes in addition to the FCT component.

...First, a fifth of all children ailing from this condition do not gain significant benefits through medication. Secondly, some children suffer from the side effects of such medicinal intervention. Thirdly, primary symptoms persist even after using medicines. Fourth, some children suffering from ADHD are effectively helped by behavior therapy when symptoms are minor. This paper is a proposed action plan of treating John who suffers from inattentive ADHD through a functional behavioral assessment (FBA). a) Operational definition of behavior This is the first stage of the FBA. Prior to selecting effective data collection methods to perform the FBA, the paraprofessional should define the behavioral problem. This definition should take into account the measurable, observable, and objective terms. The behavioral problems identified should be clear. Otherwise, it increases the difficulties involved in measuring the behavior with accuracy. Moreover, it complicates the identification of the function of the behavior and the formulation of an effective intervention method. After a collection of concrete information, regarding he behavioral problem, then the teacher or paraprofessional can refine the definition of the problem (Functional Behavioral Assessment, Behavioral Intervention Plans, and Positive Intervention and Supports: An Essential Part of Effective School Wide Discipline in Virginia, 2009). In our case study, John is inattentive for the greater part of the day. His specific problems...

...After reading the article Early Warning, Timely Response: A Guide to Safe Schools, I noticed that offering support and having a plan in place in case of an emergency is key to maintaining a safe school environment. This includes documenting, creating and implementing behavior interventions to prevent a violent behavior from happening. Also having a positive relationship by allowing students to express their feelings and offering support to all students will create a safe environment that students will be less likely to have a violent behavior. In the schools that I have been in, I have seen behavior interventions implemented to reduce violent behaviors. Many students will be put on a CBM to monitor and show the student their behavioral expectation....

It is a rigorous plan that involves all members around the individuals on how best to deal with individuals with ASD and to ease their co-existence, which may sometimes be stressful. Members surrounding the individual receive full details of the problems to enable them have an in-depth understanding of what triggers the problem and therefore know how to prevent it. It also provides information on how to respond to those problems and the importance of teaching and reinforcing new skills. According to Neitzel Positive Behavior Support is used currently as a mode tool to reduce interfering behaviors of individuals with ASD and has been noted to be effective in reducing interfering behavior (Neitzel, 2010). The individual’s environment is to be modified to allow ease of transition and application of new skill to reduce any interfering behavior exhibited by the individual.
