So I wrote a behavior
plan…Now What????
Data Driven
Collect baseline data
Use data to drive decision
Limit what you are collecting data on
Keep it simple
Input
Collaborate with regular education teachers What are their concerns? What is most pressing of their concerns?
When? Where? Why? Be cognizant of the teacher’s feelings
Degree of Misbehavior
Does the behavior impede learning?
Annoying
Disruptive
Destructive
Where does it happen, where does it not happen
Safeguard student, other students, and staff
Function
Avoid something Work Environment Interaction Frustration Negative personal feelings
Get something Attention Control Power Relieve feelings of inadequacy
Are there clear expectations for the student?
Does the child understand what you want them to do?
Replacement behavior
Reinforcement schedule
How behavior will be reinforced?
When it will be reinforced?

Components of a plan
KISS-Keep It Simple Silly
Choose 2-3 things to work on at a time
Match data collection to intervention plan
Do FBA
Do task analysis
Compliance before academics
No power struggles
Fluidity
Its not my way or the highway
Give student choices and some control
It is not about fair or
equal!It is about what each child needs.
Is the plan being implemented?
Any one doing it?
Everyone doing it?
Copies of behavior plan/interventions to everyone who needs it.
If won’t or can’t; why?
Are additional resources needed?

Modeling (Capacity building)
Training
Data collection Timely Accurate
Is the Reinforcement appropriate?

Clearly defined Contracts Sentence strips
Does the Reinforcement schedule need to be changed?
Reinforcement frequency
Start more frequent
Then fade
