Behavior Intervention Plan
Keywords in Behavioral Interventions:
- BIP: Behavioral Intervention Plan
- ABA: Applied Behavior Analysis
- FBA: Functional Behavior Analysis
- Positive reinforcement: maintains or increases a behavior as a result of the consequences given
- Negative reinforcement: maintains or increases behavior because the individual avoids or escapes negative conditions as a result of the behavior
- Punishment: process by which a behavior is weakened, reduced, or eliminated because of a consequence that follows the behavior
- Extinction: a behavior is weakened, reduced, or eliminated because it is no longer reinforced
- Stimulus Control: predictive relationship between a specific antecedent or class of antecedents ad a specific behavior or class or behaviors
- Modeling: demonstrating a behavior for the purpose of encouraging others to imitate the behavior
- Shaping: teaching a new behavior by reinforcing increasingly more accurate attempts at the behavior
- Antecedents: environmental events that might set the stage for specific behaviors; 2 types (setting events & immediate antecedents)
- Setting Events:
- Physical: noisy, long bus ride, room is to hot/cold, improperly sized furniture, flickering light bulb
- Biological: illness, allergies, hunger, fatigue
- Social: absence or presence of certain people, crowded classroom, quality of teacher-student relationship
Functional Behavioral Assessment
Determines the purpose the behavior might have for the child.
ABC Model:
Antecedents <----> Behavior <----> Consequences
Antecedent Interventions:
Consequence Interventions:
Antecedents <----> Behavior <----> Consequences
Antecedent Interventions:
- setting rules and expectations
- implementing procedures
- ensuring successful engagement in academic task
- developing positive teacher-student and peer relationships
- providing meaningful and interesting academic tasks
- teaching appropriate behaviors
- teaching appropriate communication skills
Consequence Interventions:
- providing positive reinforcement for desired behaviors: (praise, token economy, contract)
- using differential reinforcement to increase desired behaviors while reducing undesirable behaviors
- using punishment to reduce undesirable behaviors: (reprimand, time out, response cost)
Steps in Monitoring Behavior
Step 1: Operationally defining the behavior
Step 2: Choose the behavioral measurement system to be implemented:
Step 4: Collect the baseline data first then collect the intervention data
Step 5: Convert the data if necessary
Step 6: Plot the data in a graphic display
Step 7: Interpret the data
Step 2: Choose the behavioral measurement system to be implemented:
- Event Recording
- Interval Recording
- Time Sampling
- Duration Recording
- Latency Recording
- Permanent Product Recording
Step 4: Collect the baseline data first then collect the intervention data
Step 5: Convert the data if necessary
Step 6: Plot the data in a graphic display
Step 7: Interpret the data
