Working Together for Success: A Guide to the FBA/BIP Process

Welcome!

We understand that your child's behavior may be a concern. This pamphlet explains the Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) process, a collaborative effort to support your child's success.

What are FBA and BIP?

• FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment): This helps us understand the why behind your child's behavior. We'll gather information about the behavior, what triggers it, and what happens after.
• BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan): Based on the FBA, we'll create a plan with strategies to prevent the behavior and teach positive replacements.

Key Terms:

• Behavior: The specific action we're concerned about (e.g., yelling, tantrums).
• Antecedent: What happens before the behavior (e.g., frustration, unclear instructions).
• Consequence: What happens after the behavior (e.g., attention, removal from activity).
• Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging desired behaviors (e.g., praise, rewards).

The FBA/BIP Process:

1. Referral and Consent: We'll discuss your concerns and seek your permission to proceed.
2. FBA Team Meeting: We'll meet with you and other professionals to gather information.
3. Data Collection: This might involve observations, interviews, and ABC (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) charts.
4. FBA Analysis: We'll analyze the data to understand the function of the behavior.
5. BIP Development: We'll work with you to create a BIP with positive interventions.
6. Implementation: We'll implement the BIP and monitor its effectiveness.
7. Progress Monitoring: We'll regularly review progress and adjust the BIP as needed.

How You Can Help:

• Share your observations and concerns.
• Attend meetings and participate in discussions.
• Implement the BIP strategies at home, when possible.
• Communicate regularly with the team.

Together, we can create a supportive environment for your child's success!

(Use a simple flowcharting tool or draw by hand)

Start -> Referral & Consent (Yes) -> FBA Team Meeting -> Data Collection -> FBA Analysis -> BIP Development (Yes) -> Implementation -> Progress Monitoring (Effective?) -> Yes: Continue (No: Adjust BIP) -> End

Additional Handout:

This handout can have space for parents to take notes during meetings. Include sections for each step of the process with key points and questions for parents to ask.

Remember:

This is a collaborative process. We value your input and feedback throughout the FBA/BIP process. Don't hesitate to ask questions or share your concerns.
