FTCE Exceptional Student Education K12- Competency 4 Latest 2022 Graded A Positive Behavior Support ✔✔Evidence based approach to promoting desirable behavior while discouraging undesirable ones. Implemented in a tiered fashion with preventative measures at school level, increased support available to students who have behavior problems, and behavior intervention plan developed by IEP teams for students who have problem behavior. IDEA recommends the use of PBS as a means of ✔✔Reducing problem behavior in school settings, minimizing punishments, and encouraging respectful treatment of students. IDEA required that the IEP team explore the need for positive strategies, support, intervention to address _______________________. ✔✔Problem Behavior Conclusion of Manifestation Determination ✔✔If review suggests that misbehavior is related to student disability, IEP must conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment to develop a behavior intervention plan. Indirect Assessment ✔✔Can be used to obtain information about behavior without directly observing the student. Direct Assessment is used to ✔✔obtain information about student behavior through first hand observation of student. Three tiered approach to PBS ✔✔PBS systems are proactive, they tend to prevent problem behavior before they occur and address problem behavior before severity intensifies. This approach follows a three-tiered system. Tier One of PBS ✔✔Consists of school wide preventative measures such as making behavior expectations clear to everyone present at school. Creating a system of positive reinforcement for desired behavior establishes consequences for undesirable ones. Maintains consistency in handling behavior. Largely focused on prevention. Tier Two of PBS ✔✔Consists of individual support available to students who have not responded to first tier measures and currently exhibit problem behavior. Tier Three of PBS ✔✔Consists of interventions created for individual students whose behavior is severe. Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) ✔✔Is conducted if the IEP team has concerns about the behavior of a student with a disability or if the student has engaged in extreme misbehavior. FBA consists of strategies ✔✔For determining what causes and sustains problems behavior for developing interventions that might best address those behaviors. Describing Problem Behavior in FBA ✔✔Description of Problem Behavior in FBA should consist of concrete specific statements rather than vague summations. FBA Content ✔✔FBA requires that gathering information about contextual influences on the problem behavior. Information is needed about when, where, and what conditions the problem behavior is exhibited and what contextual factors seem to increase/diminish frequency and intensity. Finding Cause in FBA ✔✔FBA yields hypothesis about underlying cause of problem behavior, informed guesses about purposes the behavior serves for the student. Skill Deficit ✔✔A student who exhibits problem behavior because he/she does not know how to perform desired behavior has a Performance Deficit ✔✔A student who knows how to perform a behavior but chooses not to or is incapable of doing so because anger, frustration, or other condition has a Intervention ✔✔Interventions will be closely related to hypothesis about underlying cause of behavior and include suggestions for replacement behavior or behavior that is likely to serve same purpose as problem behavior. Emphasis is based on changing the behavior rather than the purpose. Behavior Intervention Plan ✔✔Uses information from FBA Describes behaviors that are likely to be changed as well as the intervention strategy for effecting change. Focus is not on controlling behavior, but rather fostering posititve replacement behavior. Content of Behavior Intervention Plan ✔✔IDEA requires that the following be implemented in IEP -Target behavior problem types and effectiveness of intervention that have been tried already - Interventions that will be used -Goals for interventions -Approach to evaluating effectiveness of intervention -Plan to review success of
