FBA/BIP Training Presented by: HANDS in Autism                                          

View Behavior Through a “Function-Based Lens”

Challenging behavior exhibited by students in the classroom can result in the loss of instruction time, an increase in staff stress levels, and may even result in expulsion. Learning how to view behavior through a "function-based lens" and how to address skill deficits that may be contributing to challenging behavior is essential to understanding successfully addressing behaviors of concern. Function-based problem solving is a continuum. 

Conduct an FBA, Design a BIP

This training will be presented by a team from Indiana University and will teach participants about the process of conducting a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and developing a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP). Participants will also explore common pitfalls with the conduct and use of FBA and BIP. Please note, we will integrate Ohio’s new forms if they are available by the date of this training.
