Part II: Intervention Planning: Behavior Intervention Plan
Overview
Candidates will develop a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) using positive behavioral
supports and intervention based on the Functional Behavior Assessment completed in
Module 1.
Instructions:
Candidates will use the template provided that addresses APA formatting (includes a
title page, headers, page numbers, and references). This plan must be based on the
function of the behavior derived from the Functional Behavior Assessment. The paper
should be written as a report and not in first person.
A. Write the Behavioral Objective: Using the student’s current level of
functioning, write an objective that includes the learner, the expected positive
behavior, condition, and criteria in ONE sentence.
B. Write the Behavioral Operational Definition: Definition of the behavior of
concern (BOC).
C. Intervention Plan. Candidates will provide an overview of the intervention
plan that includes the following
a. Description of all individuals involved and their roles in the plan. b. A
description of the intervention that is supported by evidence based
research for selection.
D. Proactive Preventative Strategies.
Describe what strategies will be implemented to avoid triggering the BOC. This is
not the intervention.
E. Replacement Skills
a. Identify the behavior that will replace the target behavior.
b. Describe how it will be taught.
c. Describe when and how long it will be taught.
F. Consequence strategies
a. Criteria for token economy system
b. Descrbe a brief crisis intervention plan.
G. Generalization.
a. List setting(s) for implementation (i.e. classroom, hallway, cafeteria)
b. Identify timeline of implementation (1 week)
c. Identify strategies that will be used to maintain
positive behavior
skills.
Behavior Intervention Plan Page 1
H. Monitoring.
List how often the team will meet to monitor or revise the Behavior Intervention Plan.
Data will be collected for a minimum of 10 days ( 5 days for baseline and 5 days for
intervention) using a provided frequency chart.

Writing Behavioral
Objectives
The candidate
identifies a
behavioral
objective by
including: the
learner, behavior,
condition
and
criteria within the
objective.
The candidate
identifies skill in
developing
behavioral
objectives by
including: 3 of the
4 components.
Learner,
behavior,
condition and
criteria.
The candidate
demonstrates fails
to write a
behavioral
objectives for the
behavior. The
objective is vague
and/or includes
less than three
components.
Operational Definition
Candidate
identifies
operational
definition of the
target
behavior that is
clear and explicitly
defined and
generalized
(repeated,
paraphrased by
others) that
include both
examples and
non-examples of
the behavior
observed.
Candidate
identifies an
operational
definition of the
targeted
behavior that
are both
measurable and
observable to
ensure proper
data
collection.
Examples and
non-examples of
the behavior are
not provided.
Candidate does
not identify the
operational
definition of the
target behavior in
observable and
measurable terms
or provide
examples of the
behavior to
ensure proper
data collection.

Proactive Preventative
Strategies
The candidate
develops
strategies and
supports to
prevent the
behaviors
described in the
Behavior
Intervention Plan
and includes both:
strategies which
are general,
prevention
supports such as
providing choices,
reinforcing
alternative
acceptable
behavior, self-
monitoring

strategies that
are based on
the
function (e.g., if
escape work, then
reduce work
stress); if for
social attention
from peers, then
design
opportunities for
peer interaction
that are based on
the function of the
behavior.
The candidate
develops
strategies and
supports to
prevent the
behaviors that
are described
in the
Behavior
Intervention Plan
but only include
general, prevention
supports that are
not based on the
function of the
behavior.
The candidate
does
not develop
strategies to
prevent the
behavior that is
described in the
Behavior
Intervention Plan
and/or
does not
describe how to
respond when the
behavior occurs
(i.e., how to
prevent the
behavior from
becoming worse
when it has
already
occurred).
Behavior Intervention Plan Page 4
Replacement Skills The candidate
identify
‘replacement’
behaviors that
serve the same
function as the
problem
behavior (i.e.
allows the
student to
communicate
the same need
in a
more acceptable
way) and
provides details
regarding
what strategies
will be used to
teach the
replacement
behaviors, when
it will be taught,
frequency, and
duration
The candidate
identify
replacement
behavior that is
defined but not
aligned to the
function of the
behavior and
strategies to
teach
replacement
behaviors.
The candidate
does not identify
replacement
behaviors.
Consequence Strategies The candidate
develops strategies
that
describe how
to
respond when/if
the student
demonstrates the
replacement
behaviors and
identify what
reinforcers
will be
used, the schedule
of reinforcers.
The candidate
develops
strategies that
describe how to
respond when and
if the student
demonstrates the
replacement
behaviors but fail to
clearly
identify what
reinforcers will be
used, the schedule
of reinforcers.
The candidate does
not develop
strategies that
describe how to
respond when/if
the student
demonstrates the
replacement
behaviors are not
identified.
Generalization The candidate
describes how
interventions will
be implemented
across time,
people and
settings; and
identifies the time
line, and
