5 basic steps of functional behavior assessment
*collecting data from standardized behavior assessments is NOT one
Members of an effective behavior intervention team should include:
-administrators -general education teachers who are familiar with the child -special education teachers who are familiar with developing BIPs
As part of a universal design for classroom management, a behavior intervention plan should:
-be based on the data obtained from the functional behavioral assessment -include a behavioral hypothesis developed from the functional behavior analysis -be individualized and based on the student's social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
scenario question about observations
. If one observes out of seat behavior 5 times and another report 8 times, what is the interrater reliability? Total agreed time is 5/8=62.5% agreement
9 components of a Behavior Intervention Plan
1) Definition of target behavior* 2) Attempted interventions 3) summary of functional behavioral assessment* 4) Behavioral hypothesis 5) Alternative behavior 1* 6) Intervention strategies (alternative behavior 1)* 7) Alternative behavior 2 8) Intervention strategies (alternative behavior 2 9) Evaluation of the effectiveness of the plan
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
A written plan that describes the interventions, strategies, and supports that will be implemented to address the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of a student
1) definition of target behavior
Behavior intervention plans should include target behavior, summary of the functional behavioral assessment and intervention strategies
criterion needs to be included in the behavioral objective
Diana will receive permission from the teacher by raising her hand when she needs to talk.
Behavioral goal example
Johnny will complete his assignments during class
Behavior goal
is a broad statement about a student outcome within a specific period of time based on the behavior needs of the student.
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
is a problem solving process used to identify the characteristics by observing
Functional behavior analysis
is a process that suggests ways to modify the behavior through the alteration of the antecedent or the consequences.
ABC analysis duration
length of time student displays behavior
Interval-based recording
method that divides the observational period into equal time intervals that measures the behavior occurring or not occrring during specified time intervals
extinction
reduction or elimination of an inappropriate behavior through the withdrawal of the positive reinforcement that maintains the behavior
ABC analysis intensity
refers to how much force is used when the student exhibits behavior
common behaviors associated with avoidance/escape of situation
self injury, aggression, and inappropriate vocalizations
students who make jokes in class
students' attainment is attention
Partial-interval recording
target behavior is recorded when it occurs at any time during the interval
example of differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)
teacher praises student for raising hand in discussion
Cumulative graphs:
the frequency count of the target behavior for each session is added to the data plotted from the previous session in the graph
Simple line graphs
the most common visual format for displaying academic or behavioral data
ABC analysis frequency
how long behaviors occur in a time period
Behavior intervention plan
implements strategies aimed at reducing or eliminating inappropriate behaviors
example of differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
instead of hitting others to get their attention, you can call their name
Point-time sampling
interval-based recording method that shows the status of the behavior at the end of the interval recorded.
the first component in BIP
defining the target behavior
event-based recording
a method used to record frequency of behaviors
Time-based recording
a recording method that measures duration or latency of the behavior total duration and average duration: average of events
an FBA is conducted when
a student's educational placement has been changed
ABC analysis latency
amount of time between an environmental event and the behavior
Whole-interval recording
an interval-based method for students to display the target behavior during the entire interval for the event to be recorded
functional communication training
an intervention technique for replacing an inappropriate behavior with an appropriate communication response as a means to obtain reinforcement
differential reinforcement
an operant procedure that is used to increase the frequency of an appropriate behavior while decreasing the inappropriate behavior
Behavioral objectives
are specific statements about student performance that include the condition, the target behavior, and the criterion of the performance
student says "make me"
attainment is power/control
student doesn't like PE because students make fun of him
avoidance situation is adverse interactions
acting up in history because board
avoidance situation is nonpreferred activities
child sits low in seat with eyes lowered
avoidance situation is social iolation
Permanent products recording
based on results of the behavior and offers an easier form of measurement
The effectiveness of a behavior intervention plan can be monitored through the use of
behavioral assessments, recording methods, & single-subject designs
ABC analysis rate of behavior
calculated by dividing the number of times the behavior occurs in a specific time period. Scenario: 5 times in 30 minutes, 5/30= 0.166
appropriately written hypothesis
during recess, Tommy hit peers to gain their attention
target behavior is usually defined during the
functional behavior assessment
student earns enough points to buy a candy bar
functional motivation of attainment is privileges
student who doesn't finish math, so you keep him with you at lunch. then he keeps not finishing work
he is getting 1 on 1 with teacher (attention)
6) intervention strategies (alternative behavior 1)
Intervention strategies section of the behavior intervention plan should state if the teacher should modify lessons and how the lesson should be modified
5) alternative behavior 1
Once the function of the target behavior has been identified, the team can develop alternative behaviors using consequence interventions, environmental modifications, and instructional strategies
3) summary of functional behavioral assessment
The summary of the functional behavioral analysis should include baseline data and intervention data, information from the anecdotal observations, and the frequency, intensity, duration, and/or latency of the behavior.
