Things to look for in a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
- Does it describe a specific behavior that the team is going to work on reducing?
- Does it describe a specific, appropriate alternative or “replacement” behavior that the team is going to help your student learn and practice?
- Does it explain to adults working with your student what they can do in order to avoid things that trigger your student’s inappropriate behavior?
- Does it describe warning signs that might mean your student is getting upset?
- Does it explain to adults working with your student what they can do to help your student feel safe and de-escalate if they get upset?
- Does it describe a set of things that your student likes that can be used to reinforce and reward your student for positive behavior?
- Does it include a plan to take data to see how the interventions are working?
