Behavior is learned.

“Children are not born bad or with bad behavior, they learn it!”Child has learned that problem behavior can be more efficient

and more effective than prosocial behavior in producing

desired outcome.

Behavior problems occur due to either skill deficit or

performance deficit andphysiological and

environmental conditions set up, set off, or maintain

problem behavior

All behavior has a function or “reason” why

it occurs

Systematically examining the context in which

behaviors problems leads to more effective strategies by addressing the function of

the behavior

Core Assumptions

Behavior Change8

First step to

changing behavior is understanding behavior

and environmental conditions.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO

During reading instruction, Bob’s teacher asks him to read a paragraph aloud about

birds. Bob struggles to read the words and yells, “I don’t want to sit here talking

about dumb things!” When prompted, he throws his materials on the floor and puts

his head down. The teacher spends a few minutes talking with Bob to calm him

down, while another student reads aloud. Bob behaves this way most often during

reading instruction. It occurs more frequently when Bob is uninterested in the topic

of the stories and is called on to read aloud during class.

During reading instruction, Bob’s teacher asks him to read a paragraph aloud about birds. Bob struggles to

read the words and yells, “I don’t want to sit here talking about dumb things!” When prompted, he throws

Preventing Strategies• Survey Bob to identify topics of

interest and provide reading

material that matches his interests

• Provide choice of which

paragraph to read

• Premack – if you read the

passage and answer the questions

than you can earn a 5 minute

walk with preferred staff

Teaching Strategies

• Teach self-advocacy skills

including asking for help or

asking to take a break

• Teach coping/tolerance

skills including patience

with reading material that

does not match interest

Responding Strategies• Reinforce attempts to read

material with behavior

specific praise

• Follow through with and

reinforce requests for break

• Follow through with Premack

if earned

How do we identify

the behavior building

blocks and develop

an intervention plan?

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)

FBA is… a student-centered team process

used to understand the student’s behavior within a context

used to identify strategies for supporting the student in achieving important academic and behavioral outcomes

Goal of an FBA is to identifying the events that reliably predict and maintain problem behavior

FBA primarily results in… Clear and measurable definition of target behavior

Identified setting events (slow triggers) & antecedents (fast triggers) for target behavior

Identified maintaining consequence for target behavior

Perceived function of target behavior

Testable hypothesis or summary statement

Function-based intervention plan

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)

There is NOT a single standard way to complete an FBA

Information for FBA gathered through indirect and direct methods

Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (2015)

CONTINUUM OF EFFECTIVE BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT AND SUPPORT

Individuals with mild or no problem behaviors (80 – 85%)

Individuals at risk for problem behaviors (5 - 15%)

Individuals with chronic/serious problem behaviors (3 - 7%)

Individuals with dangerous problem behaviors (1 - 2%)

Requirements at all Levels of FBA

• Identify, define, & measure the target behavior

• Identify setting events (slow triggers) for the target behavior

• Identify antecedent events (fast triggers) for the target behavior

• Identify consequences that maintain the target behavior

• Identify the function of the target behavior

• Formulate hypothesis/Summary statement

• Develop function-based intervention plan or positive behavior support plan

17

Consent

Parental consent is REQUIRED to conduct an initial evaluation of a student to determine eligibility for special education & related services

Parental consent is REQUIRED to conduct a reevaluation of a student with an IEP or 504 plan to determine the nature & extent of special education & related services

For students who do NOT have an IEP/504 Plan, teams using previously obtained data (e.g., schoolwide screening and/or disciplinary data), consent is NOT required

In this case, the need for consent is determined by district policy

Parental involvement in the process is essential and strongly encouraged

Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (2015)

What is the Initial Line of Inquiry?

Indirect/simple FBA process

Approximately 1 hour to complete

Promotes “function-based” thinking

Shifts focus from within child to environmental

context

Incorporates team-based problem-solving

What is the Initial Line of Inquiry?

Identify environmental factors that influence behavior

Develop a statement of behavioral function

Develop a testable hypothesis to explain behavior

Goal is function-based intervention planning

Preventing setting events & antecedents

Teaching replacement behaviors

Responding to prosocial & challenging behavior

Given Tania’s history of instability in residence and school, combined with her perceived feelings of rejection and abandonment,

When she is assigned a lengthy assignment, is sitting for an extended period, and staff delivers repeated redirections,

Tania refuses to go to, stay in, or participate in class by staying in the office, finding an adult to talk to, going to the nurse, going to the bathroom, putting her head down, reading non-assignment materials, and/or talking back

in order to get staff attention, particularly from preferred staff

Preventing Strategies Teaching Strategies Responding StrategiesSetting Events Antecedents Target Behavior Consequences

• Non-preferred staff

provide non-

contingent attention

such as greeting

her at the beginning

of the class period

• Chunk larger

assignments into

smaller segments

and include breaks

in which she can

earn time to chat

with preferred staff

Functionally Equivalent,Alternative Behavior:• Teach coping skills for

managing emotions of feeling overwhelmed with assigned task or social situation and for accepting feedback from staff

Desired Pro-Social Behavior:• Employ preferred coping

strategy

• Reinforce demonstration of coping skills with behavior-specific praise

• Reinforce work completion and earned breaks with behavior-specific praise and chat time with preferred staff

• Teacher works with Tania to

fill out “Daily Assignment

• Teacher provides behavior-

specific praise to Tania for

academic engagement &

using breaks appropriately

• After each chunk of work is

completed Teacher honors

Tania’s earned break and

provides an opportunity for

Tania to chat with preferred

adult

• If Tania completes all work

as expected before the end

of the period, the Teacher

honors Tania’s earned break

Key Considerations for Implementation of ILI

Facilitator with behavioral expertise is key!

Include all key stakeholders

Involving parents/guardians is essential!

Look for opportunities to include individual in problem-solving process

Gather archival data prior to meeting and bring it to the meeting

Manage time carefully

57

Key Considerations for Implementation of ILI

Identify 1 target problem behavior

Setting Events, Antecedents, Consequences, Function, and Intervention Strategies are all linked to the 1 target problem behavior

Intervention strategies are implemented within 1 week of ILI meeting Staff are trained/given instructions in how to implement

intervention

Implementation fidelity is monitored on a regular/consistent basis

Implementation effectiveness is monitored on a regular/consistent basis
