Basic FBA to BIP

Special educators, school counselors, school psychologists and administrators are among the positions most often involved in leading Tier 3 behavior support efforts in schools. Though general education teachers may not need to know FBA/BIP, they should have a strong understanding of behavior and intervention for students with recurring problem behavior.

The basic FBA to BIP training modules are specifically designed to be used by district-level behavior support professionals to train and support school-based personnel to develop relatively simple individualized supports for students with mild to moderate interfering behaviors. Students who exhibit consistent mild to moderate behavior problems may do fine with a relatively simple behavioral support plan developed by a team of typical behavior support professionals. (school counselors, interventionists etc.) This training series with certificate of completion is to increase professional capacity within schools to utilize effective efficient tools in which to support the “expert” behavior specialists with more intense interrupting behaviors.

Participants will learn and practice the following:
1. Develop a Hypothesis of the Function (Why)
2. Data based decisions for supporting hypothesized function
3. Intervention strategies based on function.
4. Monitoring intervention strategies and when to return to functional assessment

Participants will complete the Basic FBA to BIP Specialist Training e-learning modules designed by Chris Borgmeier,PhD, andSheldon Loman, PhD,from Portland State University, Oregon and Kathleen Strickland-Cohen, PhD of Texas Christian University in collaboration with Kansas Technical Assistance Systems Network Project Leads: Lee Stickle & Chris Perry; Lead Instructional Designers: Eddie Croissant & Tyler Collier.
