Definition: Under Federal legal mandates such as the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) students with behavioral disabilities are protected by supports such as Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), Behavior Intervention Plans, and Behavior goals in their Individual Education Plans (IEP). After the FBA is completed, a BIP is a set of strategies to support children with inappropriate classroom behaviors. The BIP helps to support the child to learn new acceptable behaviors and to abstain from using inappropriate behaviors. Intervention plans will pinpoint targeted areas and will list positive reinforcements and rewards for acceptable behaviors and consequences for unacceptable behaviors.
Also Known As: Behavior Modification Plan
