January 2014
Agenda
• Overview of FBA/BIP process
• Competing Pathways: FBA/BIP Tools for Data-based Decisionmaking
• Lunch
• Behavior Intervention Plans
• Monitoring effectiveness and data entry
• Questions/Concerns/Comments
• We will gain understanding of the FBA/BIP process including
data collection to identify the function of a student’s
behavior.
• We know we are successful when we can explain the
FBA/BIP process and develop behavior intervention plans
that teach replacement behavior based off of the FBA
findings.

~80% of Students
Tertiary Prevention:

Tiered System of Support
• Tier 3: Multiple Adults/

Multiple Students
• Tier 1: All Students
Research and Practical Experience…..
• By the time youth access FBA/BIP intervention, they are
already at high-risk.
• More youth need FBA/BIP, sooner.
• FBA/BIPs are often found in the “file” and viewed as a
document.
• Many BIPs focus only on rewarding for appropriate behavior,
omitting supports to ensure appropriate behavior
Legal considerations for students with
disabilities…
It takes a team!
FBA Outcomes
•
Operationally defined problem behavior(s)
•
Identify routines in which the problem behavior is most and
least likely to occur
•
Define the antecedent events (triggers; setting events) that
predict when the problem behavior is most likely
•
Define the ONE consequence that contributes most to
maintaining the problem behavior in that routine.
•
Summary Statement of findings.

Defining Problem Behavior
Observable and Measurable
Non-Examples
Examples
• Hyperactive
• Aggressive
• Out of seat and walking around the room
touching other student’s things
• Hits with hands and kicks peers
• Bully
• Takes valuable items from peers
• Psychotic
• Reports seeing monsters
• Irresponsible
• Arrives to class late 75% of the time

Setting Events vs. Antecedents
• Setting Events (slow trigger) – indirectly “setsup” the problem behavior
• Antecedents (fast trigger) - occurs
immediately before the problem behavior
Setting Event Examples
•
•
•
•
•
Lack of sleep or food
Having a fight on the way to school
Bad grade on a test / reprimands
Forgetting to take medication
Substitute teacher / changes in routine
Non-examples:
• Diagnosis of autism or ADHD
• “Bad” home life
Note: Setting Events can be difficult to identify, are sometimes unknown.
WHY does the behavior continue to occur?
What happens before the problem behavior?
What happens after the problem behavior?

Antecedents:
Behavior
Maintaining
Consequence:
When _____happens….
the student does (what)__
..because (why) ______

Maintaining Consequence
• If a behavior is continuing to occur it is being
reinforced…
• A maintaining consequence is an item,
activity or event that follows a behavior and
results in an INCREASE in that behavior.

Common functions in the school setting….
Obtain/ Access
Avoid/ Escape
 Peer attention
 Difficult Task
 Adult attention
 Boring Task
 Desired activity
 Easy Task
 Desired object/ items
 Physical demands
 Non-preferred activity
 Peer or Adult attention
You can not reduce a problem behavior
without first identifying the replacement and
desired behaviors the person should perform
instead of the problem or target behavior.
(O’Neill, pg. 71)
Replacement Behavior Essentials
• Serve the same function as the problem
behavior
• Easier to do than the problem behavior
• Socially acceptable
“Your desired behavior must become just as much a
habit as your undesired behavior was before."

Strategies
Team identifies a
range of
strategies/
interventions to
address:
- Prevention
- Teaching
- Consequences
We consider the FUNCTION of the problem
behavior when selecting these strategies.

Function-Based strategies…
DIRECTLY address the function of the problem
behavior by:
• Providing a way to access the maintaining
consequence by engaging in appropriate behavior
or…
• Preventing access to the maintaining consequence
following problem behavior
Selecting Antecedent Strategies:
Modifying Triggers
When identifying preventive antecedent strategies:
Eliminate or alter the antecedent so student will no longer need
to use problem behavior
The BEST antecedent MODIFICATIONS
directly address the identified ANTECEDENT and the
FUNCTION of the problem behavior

Consequences vs. Punishment
con·se·quence (k n s -kw ns , -kw ns).
n. 1. Something that logically or
naturally follows from an action or
condition.

Types of Consequences
↑Replacement Behavior
POSITIVE
• Social
• Activity or Privilege
• Tangible/materials
↓Problem Behavior
NEGATIVE
• Correction/Precision
request
• Restitution
• Positive Practice
• Privilege Loss
Keep in mind…
• It’s a process
• Behavior will get worse before it gets
better
• Reward attempts and approximations
• Reward desired behaviors
• Delivery of positive consequences brings
about replacement behavior
• Delivery of negative consequences helps
student avoid disliked situation
