Effective Functional Behavior Assessments and Behavior Planning: Supporting All Students

Join us for a two-day training focused on developing and implementing Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) for students with significant behavioral needs.

This session will explore key components of the FBA/BIP process, including how to conduct formal behavior assessments, write effective plans, and implement strategies to reduce time away from instruction and increase student engagement.

Designed for school teams and personnel supporting students with intensive behavior needs, this training is ideal for general education staff, special education staff, counselors, school psychologists, administrators, related service providers, and outside agency partners. This training is especially beneficial for LEAs or districts that have received federal identification for disproportionality in student identification or discipline.

FBA/BIP supports are among the most individualized interventions schools offer. These data-driven plans often address behavioral and academic goals to help students succeed in the classroom while reducing the risk of disproportionality in identification and discipline.

Participant Outcomes:

  • To understand the regulations and best practices for Functional Behavior Assessments 

  • To understand what supports should be available for all students

  • To understand the purpose of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and develop a student-specific FBA, including:

    • Defining the Behavior

    • Analyzing Data

    • Create a Hypothesis Statement

  • To understand, define, and measure contextually inappropriate behavior 

  • To understand the function of behavior and use a hypothesis based on data to create an Action Plan

  • To create a Behavior Intervention Plan based on the function of a behavior

  • To create a plan to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of a Behavior Intervention Plan

    Effective Functional Behavior Assessments and Behavior Planning: Supporting All Students is a 2-day training that meets from 9 am-3:30 pm in person at the ESC of NEO. Registration information is available on our PD calendar or at the link below.
