Each week we will be sharing a tip from our school psychologist, Mrs. Rollins. This week we are talking about – What is an FBA and BIP? FBA or Functional Behavior Assessment and a BIP or Behavior Intervention Plan are both common acronyms for two parts of the same process. Most students respond well to regular reinforcement of classroom and school rules. An FBA and BIP are needed to help students that for various reasons need more behavior support than other students. An FBA is structured data collection about a problem behavior that is significantly affecting learning, safety or social relationships. When the data is collected for the FBA, the school team can use the data to determine why the student choosing to do the problem behavior or if there is an underlying need that the behavior is meeting. This is called the Function of the Behavior. The Utah Least Restrictive Behavioral Interventions manual lists four functions of learned behavior. They include:
Once the function of behavior is determined, the school team can then create a BIP. The BIP addresses the problem behavior of a student and according to the Utah State Board of Education should include the following:
Research show that when an FBA and BIP are done correctly, then they can effectively reduce problem behaviors of students. It often takes a whole school team (teachers, admin, support staff, related servers and parents) working together to help students with change behavior from what they have been doing to what will help them learn and make progress at school.
