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.
