Complete the document guide for the FBA & BIP assignment using a challenging behavior from your observations. You are going to imagine that one of your observations is a challenging behavior that is creating learning and or social difficulties for one student. This behavior would be something that would be chronic — happening all the time. Your observations may not have any chronic behavior challenge so you will imagine or pretend that one of them is interfering with the child's academic and social progress in the classroom.
Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan
Directions: Choose one of the behaviors you observed during your observations.
Functional Behavioral Assessment
Name of child (use pseudonym): Age:
(A) Target behavior observed during FBA:
(B) Summary of contextual influences:
a. Location:
b. Time of Day
c. Environmental physical setting
d. Children and adults near child
(C) Suspected reason(s) for behavior:
a. Biological:
b. Social:
c. Affective:
d. Environmental:
(D) Most frequent trigger (antecedent) – describe who, what, when, where, how
(E) Second most frequent trigger, if any — describe who, what, when, where, how
(F) Which of the following is the most likely function of the behavior? Provide documentation to support the function. What did you see.

(G) Could the function of the child’s behavior be related to?
a. Skill deficit (something that the child does not know how to do). What is it that the child does not know how to do? Why not?
b. Performance deficit (something that the child does know but does not consistently engage). What is that the child knows but does not consistently engage in? Why not?
(H) Describe the consequences, in order of magnitude, related to the child’s engagement in the target behavior, as well as its function.
(I) Complete the following hypothesis statement below (please feel free to make appropriate adjustments):
When ( name of child) engages in ( the target behavior), it usually happens at ( location) and during ( time of day, routine, activity). The behavior is almost always preceded by (antecedents). ( Name of child) usually responds by ( specific details of the target behavior), which results in ( consequences or pay-off for child). The function of the behavior is/are probably ( list probable functions). The behavior appears to be related to ( skill or performance deficit) because ( provide explanation).
Behavior Intervention Plan
(A) Replacement Behavior
a. Select one of the following options and write a rationale explaining the connection between the FBA and the desired outcome:
i. Decrease the target behavior and replace it with a desired behavior. Indicate the replacement behavior in the space provided below and submit a separate one-page rationale:
ii. Eliminate the target behavior and replace it with a desired behavior. Indicate the replacement behavior in the space provided below and submit a separate one-page rationale:
iii. Increase the target behavior.
(B) Identify general classroom management changes that are needed, if any:
Physical setting:
Materials:
Equipment:
Rules:
Routines:
Activities:
Whole class management:
Small group management:
( C) Identify specific individualized interventions that are needed if any:
Prevention strategies:
Replacement skills (what and how will you teach): (In the above replacement skill section, be sure to demonstrate how you would attempt to address diversity, equity, and inclusion)
Reinforcement contingencies (for re-occurrence of target behavior)
Reinforcement contingencies (for replacement behavior)
Suggested timeline for assessment or evaluation to see of the intervention and changes in management have been successful:
