Before You Begin — FBA Required

        A Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) must be based on the results of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). The FBA identifies the function of the behavior, which drives every decision in this tool — replacement behaviors, antecedent strategies, and consequence plans are all only meaningful when grounded in FBA data.
        
        Have you completed a Functional Behavior Assessment for this student?
      
        No problem — complete the FBA first, then come back to build the BIP.

Target Behavior Definition

        Operational Definition — observable and measurable; include onset and offset

Escape / avoidance
Tangible / access
Sensory / automatic

          Motivating Operations / Setting Events
          
          Primary Antecedents
          
        Current Maintaining Consequence (what is sustaining the behavior)
        
Replacement Behaviors & Teaching Strategies

    Replacement Behaviors — must match the function of each problem behavior
    
Behavioral Teaching Strategies — how and when will replacement behaviors be explicitly taught?Environmental Fit — Teaching Capacity

Antecedent Strategies
Strategies to reduce problem behavior and/or increase replacement behaviorEnvironmental Fit — Antecedent Strategies
Reinforcing Consequence Strategies
How will replacement behavior and appropriate alternatives be reinforced?Environmental Fit — Reinforcement Delivery
Reductive Consequence Strategies
Response to problem behavior occurrences — reinforcement-based strategies must be tried first; use least restrictive optionsEnvironmental Fit — Consistent Responding
Safety Protocol

    Safety requirements, crisis de-escalation sequence, and communication plan
    
Data Collection & Progress Monitoring

Environmental Fit — Data Feasibility
Plan Logistics

      Effective start date — when all training and materials will be ready
      
      Team review date — typically 4–6 weeks after start date
      
    Training needed before start date — who needs training, on what, delivered by whom, by when
    
    Materials needed before start date
