Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) vs. Behavior
Intervention Plan (BIP
FBA
is a Process collectingalong with scrutinizes data concerning the student's conduit as well as conditions associated in turn to decide on the cause of actions yo be taken. A FBA searches within the performance itself along with the chief purpose of a functional behavior assessment is to address problem behavior in a classroom or even school. Along with looking at the target behavior which is occurring, this problem solving technique takes four specific factors into consideration. The subsequent
students or other individuals interrelate with others and construct relationships and searching for present interactions.
1.
Affective/Emotional- does the student have difficulty with
handling emotions or do certain events cause specific emotions.
2.
Cognitive-how does the
student process information, learn, and perceive information and how does
learning affect behavior.
3.
Environmental-what situations in the student’s environment,
school or home, are influencing behavior. Click here see FBA Instructions Video
Overall, the information gathered in the
functional
Behavior assessment will
Include testing and observations of the
student’s behavior, ultimately defines the behavior, determines severity, and
decides on the possible functions of the target behavior. The person(s) conducting
the FBA may use behavior checklists, use daily observations, or conduct formal
behavior assessments to build information to use for the student's behavior
interventionplan later on in the process. To find more information on the

While BIP (Click here to see video) is a process that makes use of behavioral
interventions and supports with the intention of diminishing performances,
which get in the way with a pupil’s scholastic achievements.
Normally, when FBA is up it is collect the necessary data is for
rebellious student performances, used to create own BIP
(Click here BIP Sample Form).
This plan fluctuates depending on the circumstances that it carried out.
Despite the fact, that some individuals are familiar with an FBA &
BIP process that performed enerally in clinical surroundings, this usual
process might not be the most suitable or practical for a public school surroundings.
The process described here is one that was developed in
collaboration with Harrisonburg City Schools. It's underlying structure
is one that is consistent with a traditional FBA/BIP process. However,
the terminology and procedures have been updated to work more efficiently
within a public school setting
While traditional FBA's & BIP's usually require at least some training to implement, the terms used and data collection procedures in this process have been reformatted in such a way that a typical teacher without significant behavioral training will be able to actively participate in the process by providing accurate information on the target behaviors.
Additionally, the resources needed for this process are arranged so that only the minimum are initially used (interview forms), and more intensive resources are only saved for those behavioral issues that really require it.
Finally, the time required for the process from referral to an operational BIP has been reduced to 1-2 weeks, which is more manageable in schools than some other processes which take longer.

How does the process work?
fundamentally, these process ] is in parts into four sections which are thefollowing: Each part and it's purpose is described below.
Pre-Meeting
During this portion of the process, any individuals that work closely with the student are given a 1-page questionnaire to complete that will serve to organize the information that they will need to share at the FBA meeting and help to focus the team's efforts. The questionnaire are relatively easy to complete and ask for concrete descriptions of the behavior without requiring any initial interpretation of the behavior's function. Additionally, if significant discrepencies are noted in the returned questionnaires, then an observation of the student may occur to help in verifying the reports.
FBA Meeting
During FBA meeting, efforts are made to decide upon the behaviors of concern and determine the function of those behaviors. An emphasis is placed upon finding common patterns that seem to exist within the information that was collected during the pre-meeting phase.
BIP Meeting
During the BIP meeting, the focus during this portion of the process changes to analyze the reason why more appropriate behaviors aren't occuring, Goals are set regarding the occurrence of these behaviors, and then a support plan is developed to aid the student in achieving those goals.
BIP Review Meeting
This process recognizes that no plan is perfect the first time. FBA analyses might be incorrect, BIPs might require more intensive interventions, or behaviors of concern might have changed. Because of this, at every BIP a review meeting is set to occur within a month of the BIPs initial implementation. During this portion of the meeting, the effectiveness and fidelity of the current plan are discussed and any improvements that might be made are discussed and added to the plan if necessary. This provides an efficient way to maintain consistent improvement of the plan to ensure continued student success.
